SSH failure for ASA 8.2(3)

patrickdonlon — Fri, 21 Feb 2020 12:23:25 GMT

I have a pair of 5520s running 8.2(3) in failover active/standby, routed mode. I have an issue with SSH as it's stopped worked after a short time, less than 8hrs during the network being installed, telnet is working fine as is https/asdm.

I have re-created the crypto key and the ssh access is allowed. When I try to connect I just get a flashing cursor, telnet to the ip and port 22 also works.

Thanks

Hi Patrick,

There have been a handful of SSH bugs fixed since 8.2(3). A couple to note are:

CSCti72411 - ASA 8.2.3 may not accept management connections after failover

CSCtf01287 - SSH to the ASA may fail - ASA may send Reset

You should upgrade to 8.2(5) to get the fix for all of these bugs and your issue should be resolved.
