We utilize a SG300-28 28-Port Gigabit Managed Switch between the modem and router. I have recently noticed that every 4-5 days the switch will fail to boot, resulting in a flashing LED light. A simple reset is all it takes to come back online, but I am at a loss as to why this occurs in the first place.
I am a newbie when it comes to both CISCO and managed switches, this is our first. I have tried to review the logs in the administration area but these events are either not logging, or being logged someplace where I am not looking.
Can anyone provide suggestions as to what might cause this failure at the 4-5 day interval? Or, if you have any suggestions as how I can utilize the logs to identify the problem, that would be appreciated too.
NOTE: We've had this switch for about 4 months and, as far as I know, this issue is relatively new. I only first noticed it a little over a week ago and have since been checking it daily. I am not willing to conclude this is the cause, but I did recently upgrade the firmware from 1.4.7.6 to 1.4.8.6, I'd say on a pretty close timeline to when I first noticed this.
