Chapter 1 Managing the CSS Software
Showing CSS Configurations
Showing System Resources
Use the show system-resources command to display information about the size
of the installed memory and free memory available on the:
• CSS 11501.
• CSS 11503 or CSS 11506 SM and SCM module. The CSS displays system
resources for the primary SCM. To view a specific slot in the CSS, use the
show system-resources slot_number command. Enter a number to specify
the slot number (slot_number) in the CSS.
Note Issuing the show system-resources command can cause CSS CPU usage to
increase. If the CSS 11503 or 11506 has multiple modules installed, using this
command increases CPU usage accordingly. The increased CPU usage is a direct
result of the computational overhead that occurs when the CSS polls the modules
and calculates CPU usage.
Table 1-7 describes the fields in the show system-resources command output.
