IOS crash

[netadminTO]

What would cause a repeated IOS crash - even if it's an IOS that we've always used? This IOS has been reloaded and configured numerous times, starts to flake out a little by going into <BOOT> mode and back to normal again. Eventually there's that final software crash where nothing works and the reload/reconfig has to happen again.

Could this be a hardware problem?

Bad RAM, Bad FLASH, bad load of software, memory leakage when a new feature is enabled .. NAT is known for this. Hitting a critical level on something like the numbers of routes etc.

If you do a show tech and log the output you can then use the cisco output interpreter

https://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/Suppo...s221/products_tech_note09186a008009483a.shtml

to analyse the output.

you do have to have a cco login to cisco.com though.
