Troubleshooting System Management Issues
The system management features of the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series switch allow you to monitor and
manage your network for efficient device use, role-based access control, SNMP communications,
diagnostics, and logging.
This chapter describes how to identify and resolve problems that can occur with system management and
the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series switch.
This chapter includes the following sections:
SNMP
SNMP memory usage continuously increasing
The show proc mem | inc snmp command shows continuously increasing SNMP memory usage.
Possible Cause
SNMP memory usage increases when SNMP requests are processed from different monitoring stations.
Typically, this situation stabilizes over time. If the memory increases continuously without stabilizing,
then some of the SNMP requests are causing a memory leak.
Solution
Review the output from the show system internal snmp mem-stats detail command.
Take example snapshots with the following commands while processing SNMP requests:
OL-25300-01
SNMP
Logging
CPU Processes
Traps
DNS
show clock
show system internal mem-stats detail
show tech snmp

  • Page 4 Check that the appropriate logging level is enabled to send logging messages. Use the show logging • info command. If the logging level is not appropriate, then set the appropriate level using the logging level <feature> <log-level> command. Cisco Nexus 5000 Series Troubleshooting Guide OL-25300-01...
  • Page 5 60 seconds, 60 minutes, 72 hours. Viewing the CPU history is valuable when correlating a network event with the past CPU utilization. Cisco NX-OS takes advantage of preemptive CPU multitasking, so processes can take advantage of an idle CPU to complete tasks faster. Therefore the show process cpu history command might display CPU spikes that are not necessarily a problem.

An alternative approach is to copy the startup-config and delete the desired domain with a text editor. • Then you must load the edited startup-config back onto the device.
