I tried to log into the Alix, but was unable to due to problems unrelated to the Alix itself (another story). I opted for the power cycle because this was an after-hours call and I wanted to restore service as quickly as possible.

I do lose ping response on the Alix. The admin for the upstream switch logged into his Cisco and checked the status on the port our Alix plugs into. It was the Cisco that reported a "link"ed device on the appropriate port and its (the Alix's) MAC address (although I'm uncertain if the Cisco just had that information cached).

As you suspect, the version running is 5.0

I'm in the process of resolving the console availability issue.

When monitoring mbufs (netstat -m), is there something specific I should look for, or just usage over time?

Thanks for the suggestions.
