Hi team,

I am having SSH issues, using putty 0.79 and after generating crypto keys I can connect but after 10 to 15 seconds or so the session locks up or I get a connectivity loss, "software caused connection abort"

I would advise opening a support case to get official support on this issue.

Hi Sdc

Thank you for reaching us.

Could you please help us with switch model and version running on the switch ?
Are you able to access the switch using console or telnet ?

Try to gain access to the switch using console or telnet and check the below outputs and see if the SSH is enabled or disabled

show ip ssh config
show ip ssh

When you saw ""software caused connection abort"" did the switch reload or freeze on its own ? If no then were you able to connect to the switch again using SSH ?

Thanks

sdc

Hi,

Thank you for your reply, the switch is a ICX-7150-C12P, running SPR08095m firmware.

I can access the switch via console and telnet without issues, however SSH connections using Putty, iterm, ssh via a debian/mac os terminal will connect but after roughly 10seconds or so the session will freeze or lockup. I can regain access if I restart a new session.

The switch does not freeze or reload.

Any news on this, still having issues with ssh stability

Try this wonderfully short and totally secure option:

ssh -oKexAlgorithms=+diffie-hellman-group1-sha1 -c 3des-cbc -oHostKeyAlgorithms=+ssh-rsa -mhmac-sha1 user@ip.address
