When I run the Nessus scan on a network device we're currently trialing, the device gets rebooted. However, no vulnerability was detected. We turned off all the supported services except HTTPS, which we need to access the box, but yet the reboot wouldn't stop. We're running version 2.2.9. Is there a mechanism to find out what is triggering the device to reboot?
I assume you're talking about from the Nessus side and that you've already tried monitoring the device's console / logs when the problem occurs... Steven Adair already talked about narrowing down the plugins that you enable, but you might also take a packet capture of a scan, find when the device stops responding because of the reboot, and then try to figure out which plugins were generating the packets shortly before that.
