Switch#sh version

Actually, "sh version" is inconclusive in a CatOS switch. Only in IOS does it indicate the reload reason (power-on, bus error etc). I'm wondering if I can find this type of information in a CatOS switch. My 4506 shows me the uptime, but not the reload reason.

This info can be extrapolated, although it's not entirely straightforward in CatOS. You can get this info from the nvram log (show log)

Last software reset by user: 12/10/2005,04:43:56

Now, there are three causes for a reset.

1) software reset

2) Power cycle

3) software exception

If it's a software reset, then look at the "last software reset by user," which should match the last reboot seen in the Re-boot History.

In this example, the "Last software reset" matches the most recent reboot in the Reboot history. If, for example, the switch was power cycled, you would see that the most recent reboot in the reboot history does not match the "last software reset." Alternatively, if there was a switch crash, The next line under the "Last software reset" gives you the last Exception, which would correlate to the most recent reboot in the Reboot history.
