!Configuration Errors at Startup

Configuration errors that occurred during system startup can be displayed with the show configuration failed startup command. For example:

Memory Warnings in Configuration Sessions

The Cisco IOS XR software automatically monitors and manages the system resources in a router. Under normal operating conditions, memory problems should not occur.

When a low-memory issue does occur, it is often in the form of a low-memory warning during a configuration session. Low-memory conditions can be caused by multiple, large configurations being added to the router at a single time. Users can remove the source of a problem by removing configurations.

The following sections describe the commands used to display memory usage in a router and what to do if a low-memory warning appears:

•Viewing System Memory Information, page 6-8

•Removing Configurations to Resolve Low-Memory Warnings, page 6-9

Understanding Low-Memory Warnings in Configuration Sessions

The Cisco IOS XR software monitors memory usage in the Cisco CRS-1 router. If system memory becomes low, an error message appears when you attempt to enter configuration mode.

An “out-of-memory” error message appears during one of the following situations:

•When a user attempts to enter configuration mode.

•During a configuration session when the memory shortage occurs.

•When a user attempts to load a target configuration from a large file that results in a memory shortage.
