  • 1.  Netscreen 500 continuous reboot

    Posted 01-08-2014 11:06

    Recently we had issues with cooling system in our office during that period one of our NS500 ( secondary firewall) went into continous reboot cycle looking at the logs we found it was running hot at 105 F while the primary was at 98 F .  Below is the crash dump that was generated.

    A day before we added a secondary power unit to this firewall, could that be the reason?

    105 is pretty warm and could cause issues but, if you are concerned with the output open a case with J-TAC and provide them the core dumps.

     

    Personally I would put it down to heat if it has calmed down following the restoration of cooling.

    Hi,

     

    On the safer side you can also upgrade to the latest version, just to address  if the cause is due to some bug.
