I have a 3850 switch that reboots itself unexpectedly. When it comes back up, it claims it was restart by the Reload command, but no one has issued that command and nothing is ever scheduled. Is this a known bug? It's running 3.2.3E.
Is the switch sending syslog to a server? If so can you check in the logs for a period of time before the switch reboots and see if there is anything unexpected in the logs? If it is not sending syslog to a server then perhaps connect to it from a PC and do terminal monitor and watch for logs on the PC. Note that logging monitor would need to be enabled and you may need to adjust the inactivity timer so that the PC session is not ended or you may need to do something in your terminal emulator to generate some activity (in SecureCRT I can set it so that every 5 minutes it does a carriage return to keep the session alive).
