      Hi,

      this morning found out the pfsense doing reboot, is there any way to get to know what triggered the reboot?

      From syslog i see:

      pfsense:+ other rows after reboot
	 done.
	 rc.bootup: Resyncing OpenVPN instances.
	 starting sshd
	 /rc.linkup: Ignoring link event during boot sequence.
	 done.
	 done.
switch:	 traputil.c(721) 30749 %% Link Up: 1/g47

      Could it be that device attached to por 47 of the switch has triggered the reboot?

      Thanks, BR

        A link state change shouldn't ever cause a reboot.

        What order are those logs in?

        The pfSense logs there are all from after the reboot and some way into it. You'd need to check the system log on pfSense itself to see if anything was logged just before it rebooted.

          Anyway luckily it isn't happened again.
