Viewing Resource Allocation
From the system execution space, you can view the allocation for each resource across all classes and
class members.
From the system execution space, view the resource allocation by entering the following command:
FWSM# show resource allocation [detail]
This command shows the resource allocation, but does not show the actual resources being used. See the
“Viewing Resource Usage” section on page 5-28 for more information about actual resource usage.
The detail argument shows additional information. See the sample displays below for more information.
The following sample display shows the total allocation of each resource as an absolute value and as a
percentage of the available system resources:
FWSM# show resource allocation
Resource Total % of Avail
Conns [rate] 35000 35.00%
Fixups [rate] 35000 35.00%
Syslogs [rate] 10500 35.00%
Conns 305000 30.50%
Hosts 78842 30.07%
IPsec 7 35.00%
SSH 35 35.00%
Telnet 35 35.00%
Xlates 91749 34.99%
