[c-nsp] c2924XL fail

Hi Joe ;)

Anytime we've ran across this on 2924's we have replaced them.  Have seen a
couple of instances over time with IOS bugs on them but mainly memory leaks
due to SNMP.

See you're running the latest code and we have that same code on a couple
dozen 2924's at remote sites with no issues.  Sorry, sounds like time to
replace in my opinion....

Paul

Subject: [c-nsp] c2924XL fail

Hi all,

I have an old, slightly nasty c2924XL switch in my basement. It has  
been sitting there unplugged for some time, and just got pulled out of  
the cupboard and powered up because the switch I was using failed.

Every hour or so, the switch is rebooting. The following are examples  
of what I see on the console.

Is this switch toast, or is there some software/configuration remedy  
to whatever is causing this reload? It seems to happen every hour or  
so that the switch is under any kind of load.
