[c-nsp] ASA SSH problem

Tue Jul 31 10:16:38 EDT 2007

My bad, I was thinking of the IOS command, which is in seconds.  What if you try adding 'ssh version 2', so that it doesn't try version 1?  I think it'll default to AES256 then.  Might be worth a try.

The 'ssh timeout 5' means 5 minutes timeout.
No, I didn't tried another SSH client. I used Debian's default Open SSH Client.
My ASA Version is 7.1(2). I've searched for bugs, with Cisco's bug toolkit and I've found a bug similar with my problem, but the workaround didn't helped.

5 seconds seems pretty short for a timeout.  Have you tried a different SSH client?  What encryption protocol is being used?  I use Putty all the time with an ASA, never seen this.  What ASA version is it, have you looked for bugs involving SSH?

Hi!

1. I saved the rsa keys before reload. And after reload i've regenerated and deleted the keys, but doesn't helped.
2. I have the ssh x.x.x.x y.y.y.y outside command.

Two guesses.

1. your RSA key didn't get saved or
2. you don't have SSH allowed from that outside IP address ie. Ssh x.x.x.x y.y.y.y outside.

Just my first thoughts.

Hello Experts!

I have a problem connecting to ASA with SSH to the outside interface.
My SSH worked, but I've reloaded the ASA (with saved configuration), and now it doesn't works.
I want to connect from a Linux Server.

The SSH configuration is:
aaa authentication ssh console LOCAL
username admin password xxxxxx privilege 15
ssh *.*.6.1 255.255.255.255 outside
ssh timeout 5

I have public keys generated (using this device for VPN).

The debug ssh says:

%Device ssh opened successfully.
SSH0: SSH client: IP = '*.*.6.1'  interfaceS # = 1
SSH: host key initialAised
SSH0: starting SSH cont-rol process

Now the SSH Server disconnected because of "Time-out activated", but several times disconnects with "Internal Error".

What can be the problem?

Thanks,
Romeo Bagosi
