The scheduler commands only reserve CPU, not memory. If you're really
in a bind and can't console in, pull a LAN interface cable out. Within
a couple seconds, the ARP entries, NAT translations, and routes
associated with that interface should time out, freeing up memory and
CPU, allowing you in. Certainly faster than a power cycle of the
router. Of course it's a remote router, have someone pull out a cable
on the other side of the router (not your side, obviously). Once you
can get in and look around, figuring out the cause shouldn't be too bad
with some 'sh proc' commands...

If I was to do scheduler allocate, would this reserve the memory
permanently or just release mem as needed for this?
I looked into this before but never could really get a grasp on it.
Thanks,
mike

It depends what is causing the congestion. If it's IP input
related, then telnet would also be affected.
