"a reboot a day keeps the FE away"
a reboot, in general, cleans up memory leaks, partitioned memory, static
dammaged mem, re-init params, run diags, re-negotiate links+routing, clear arp,
clear host, clear stats, get rid of old sub intf, reloads saved config, get rid
of etc. ...I have seen meny strange things over the years clear up with a
reboot. The big question is: who is using the network at the time, if you are
in the lab configuring a gazillion things and doing strange stuff that was
never tested (cause you're doing it wrong!) and strange things happen, it might
save time to reboot rather than chase a gremlin
