Last switch reset caused by prefix.c(1941): Error code 0x00000de6, after 2552 secondA partial list of such possibilities:broad_hpc_stack(2586), drvmem.c(417), Fault(0x00000100), Fault(0x00001000),
Fault(0x00001100), hwutils.c(3046), hwutils.c(3371), link.c(368), prefix.c(1941),

Solution
Upgrade to firmware 6.61.02.0007 or higher (
14480).
The l7_prepareSystemDump function has been changed to remove the useless BackTrace data from current.log and replace it with an entry to indicate which task has suspended and the system dump file name. Here is an example which demonstrates the new diagnostic format:Task SNMPTask(0x88af700) is suspended with error 2, creating file sysDmp12May3112.z
