We have quite a few Cisco 4k and they are pretty reliable. In a year and a half we have only replaced one 4k in our data center, and the only others we have touched are the ones we have deinstalled and replaced with 3600's. I think we have a hundred or so.

When I was on the road teaching Cisco courses, the 2500's seemed to fail more than the 4000's. Probably the most persistent 4000 problem was one of the ports failing on the dual-Ethernet module. Is there any pattern to what you are seeing? I'm wondering if it's just a mechanical problem with wear on the slot modules, or something else that's aging.
