We had a couple of routers that would randomly reboot, and after rebooting a show ver showed "system restarted by bus error". I dug around on Cisco's site and found a page that said many bus errors are memory errors. I traced the address down to a stick of RAM, replaced it and was fine afterwards.....
Check out: (may wrap) http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/122/crashes_buserror_troubleshooting.shtml http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/63/ts_buserror.html There are many good links at the bottom of the first web page.... Both of these pages was found by searching Cisco's site with the keywords "3600 bus error" HTH, Mike W. wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > Dear friends: > > My CISCO 3640 is rebooting frequently.
