04/14/2026, 2:34 PMIs anyone seeing PPE crashes on NetScalers with the most recent firmware? Have a client with 2 pairs of MPXes. 1 with the latest, 1 with an earlier build. The upgraded units have crashed since deployment. And the PPE seems to be tied to AAA authentication.

>Log: proc NSPPE-03 (1106) failure. Therefore initiating nCore NetScaler restart
>The Failed Soft-Reset: The system tried to just restart the software (Warm Reboot).
>Log: main(): Warm Reboot - unsetting partition ids
>The Hard Reset: Because the software was totally locked up (likely waiting on the Intel Lewisburg SSL chip), it couldn't finish the restart. The physical hardware then forced a Coldstart, which is why you lost all CLI/GUI access and found no crash files (it died too fast to write them).
>The Trigger: High-volume nFactor/JSON logins (shown in your AAA logs) overloaded the memory path on the new 14.1 kernel.
