Sounds like a plan, but if it's something to do with traffic levels or
broadcast traffic then you probably won't see it until some of the
employees come in and start logging on.

Another possibility that I haven't mentioned, one of the things that can
cause a switch to reboot is spoofed traffic like what slammer worm
generates. If you have an infected laptop or something with a bug that
pings first (blaster/welchia) it could generate an arp flood, that might
cause a switch to reboot as well.

What I'm trying to say is if you find one of the 3548's is rebooting, that
doesn't mean the switch is bad, it just means that's where you want to look
for the cause of the reboots.
