ICX-7750 SSH sessions terminate unexpectedly several times in a row

[patrick_worsham]

This is an intermittent issue. Our 7750 switch will unexpectedly terminate a authenticated SSH session, sometimes several times in a row. Debugging SSH sessions show the log:

Security: SSH logout by un-authenticated SSH user from src IP x.x.x.x from src MAC xxxx.xxxx.xxxx from PRIVILEGED EXEC mode using RSA as Server Host Key.

The drops can happen several times in a row, even during the authentication process.  Just now, i've had a console session going for over an hour.  It's really random and weird.

Hey Patrick, 

What code are you on (show version)? We have had some SSH fixes. If you aren't already there, I would recommend moving to target path 8090k.

Hey Patrick, 

8030 is no longer being actively patched for ICX7xxx devices. I would recommend upgrading to 8090k. However, you will need to upgrade to 8080f (non-UFI - the same image format as 8030) and then upgrade to the 8090k UFI image. You could certainly open a case (see my signature) to get assistance with this.

Ok, thank you for the tip.
