show processes memory Command for Releases Prior to 12.3(11)T, 12.2(28)S, and 12.0(30)S
The following example shows the output of the show processes memory command before the changes
to the summary information were made. Note that the “Total:” in the show processes summary
command indicates total memory for all memory pools; in this example, the show processes memory
Total of 35423840 can be obtained by adding the Processor and I/O totals shown in the output of the
show memory summary command. Note also that the show processes memory sorted command lists
the Total Processor Memory (matches the show memory summary Processor Total, but the show
processes memory command (without the sorted keyword) lists the Total for all memory pools
(Processor plus I/O memory).
