  • 1.  How to check DRAM and Flash on EX-4300

    Posted 10-10-2018 21:24

    Hi everyone!

     

     I bought a switch EX-4300-24T-TAA, in datasheet i read about hardware specifications of EX-4300 is:

    Memory
    •DRAM: 8 GB with Error Correcting Code (ECC) on EX4300-48MP, 4 GB with ECC on EX4300-32F and
    EX4300-32F-DC; 2 GB with ECC on all other EX4300 switches
    •Flash: 64 GB on EX4300-48MP, 4 GB on EX4300-32F and EX4300-32F-DC; 2 GB on all other EX4300 switches
     
     
    But when I check on the real device with some commands, the result is not show flash information, results below:
    root> show chassis hardware detail

    How can I check about DRAM and FLASH?

    You have found the memory correctly as your EX4300-24T only has 2GB RAM. Regarding flash I'm not sure how to do it via the Junos cli.


    But I know you can go into the unix shell and look in dmesg.boot for these numbers.

     

    Example below is from a SRX300 (8G flash, 4G RAM) but can be used the same way on your EX4300.

     

    user@fw> start shell
% grep da0 /var/run/dmesg.boot
da0 at umass-sim0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0
da0: <ATP ATP CG eUSB 1100> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-4 device
da0: 40.000MB/s transfers
da0: 7672MB (15712256 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 978C)
Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/da0s2a

    % grep "real memory" /var/run/dmesg.boot
    real memory  = 4294967296 (4194304K bytes)

    Hi jonashauge!

     

    Thanks for your support!

     I've already showed that information! So, I want to ask additional question:

     With SRX-345 and SRX-340... I used command: "show chassis hardware detail" and the result is include da0 information with description is "NAND FLASH", it's clear information about FLASH.

     Show why, with EX-4300 we have to grep da0 information from system boot-message? Is this ok for flash memory operation?

     

    Regards,

    Yep, it's ok for flash memory operation. I have no idea why Juniper does not show flash in output of "show chassis hardware", but this info we can get in cli:
    Flash:
