Hello bama16, 

 

Welcome to the community! 

 

This question was answered on one of our KB's, please click here. This KB mentions that the high utilization is normal and the memory is not actually used until needed. The amount of memory usage may also vary based on the configurations done on the switch, having a good response time and no packet loss indicates that there is no real problem caused by this. Can you also tell us the firmware/boot that are running on the switches? 

 

Thanks,
