J9088A Crashing (R.11.98)

[fisherman_steve]

I rebooted a 2960 earlier today (having changed max-vlans to 25) and it took ages to reboot.  Physically looking at the lights on it, it appeared to come up and then restart the boot cycle again.

It eventually booted, but I have notice the following when I do a SHOW BOOT-HISTORY...

Can anyone shed any light on whether this is a hardware / software fault and advise on what action I should take to overcome this?

Thanks

Since you're on the latest code, your best bet is to contact HP support.  I would assume hardware in the absence of any other indicators, and request an advance replacement if it happens again.

Thanks Paul, I will get onto HP to get it replaced.
