5324's are all losing connectivity

We've been experiencing a problem where each of our PowerConnect 5324's will drop offline and become inaccessible to either ping's or Telnet to the switch's management IP address.

Yet, the switches will still pass traffic.

We have SolarWinds' ipMonitor polling each switch periodically so I get the feeling that the switch can't handle this somehow and locks-up.

Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

The only solution right now is to unplug the switch and plug it back in. This is obviously not ideal as it is highly disruptive.

It should be note that we currently have (9) 5324's and it happens to all of them so it feels like a bug in the switch.

I can't imagine we're the only ones having this issue.

what firmware version are you running?  You should be running the latest.  Older versions had a memory leak in SNMP.  It looks like IpMonitor uses SNMP.

Post your configuration file if you need more help.

Software Version  2.0.0.40   
Boot Version  1.0.2.02   
Hardware Version  00.00.02

It should be noted that we are not polling the switches via SNMP, just PING.

The latest firmware is boot1.0.2.02/fw2.0.1.13, A05.

If I recall, you did not have to be polling with SNMP for this memory leak to be a problem. 

Please post your configuration.
