Pix Firewall Reboots

[themeaner]

Every so often my pix will reboot at odd times in the morning, then go three days with nothing. I have seen as many as 25 or as little as four I can not find a common ground of waht is makeing it do it. Any one have any ideas.

Unless you're doing something similar already, I'd setup some form of syslogging on the device. The PIX can generate a lot of traffic however if you set it to report on everything (level 7). So I'd try a low level (perhaps 2 or 3) and increase it if the resultant log doesn't give any indicators what the problem is.
