Cisco 4500 L3 switch keeps rebooting without cause.

Hi Cisco community.

 

My first post here, we have had some really weird incidents with one one of our Cisco 4500E switches. It keeps rebooting without a clear cause. The system says its "returned to rom by power-on". We switched the Power supplies and also had an electrician check the power supply. No UPS is involved here. We have a redundant setup with two PSU's

 

This setup is powering two POE blades

 

The switch did manage to write something to the crashinfo file which I will post below together with the "show version" output

 

NDC025 uptime is 7 hours, 15 minutes
System returned to ROM by power-on
System restarted at 04:45:36 CET Mon Jun 10 2019
System image file is "bootflash:cat4500e-entservicesk9-mz.122_52_SG_136"

Can anyone deduce from the crashinfo what is causing this switch to crash?

 - No , but try a  more recent software release , if applicable , and check if the problem is persistent, also configure snmp traps for all events and follow up on traps on the designated snmp-trap receiver.

hi Marce1000

Thanks for the tip, we will try and do that. We have now switched the supervisor with another blade and see if the problem persists.

That is either a BETA firmware or an Engineering Special release.   

According to the logs, the supervisor card is experiencing memory allocation errors. 

Upgrade the firmware of the controller or raise a TAC Case.

Hi Leo Laohoo

Thank you so much for your answer! We switched the hypervisor module with another switch now to see if the problem persists.
The switch only usually to reboot under load during the weekend when we are running backups so I think you might be correct.

What part exactly is showing you that it is a memory allocation error?
