Cisco RV345 Dual WAN can't connect via SSH

[Chainz111]

Hi,

I just bought a RV345 and to a great surprise to me I can't connect via putty ssh (or any other ssh client).

It prompts me for a user and password and when I enter them it just closes the connection and the terminal window itself. If I enter wrong credentials (user or password) it says access denied and waits for the correct password.

By default in the exported config xml file it says 

<ssh>
   <enabled>true</enabled>
   <ip>0.0.0.0</ip>

   <port>830</port>
</ssh>

And in the webgui NETCONF LAN only port 830

Can somebody explain what is going on?  Am I doing something wrong?

 - For the case when it closes the connection -> run the ssh client in verbose mode and or choose a ssh client which can provide sufficient verbose mode and levels. Check if this can then lead to any further insights.

OK I'll post it below

 - Some advisory actions in terms of impact category -  1) Install the latest firmware (make a backup of the configuration first) ,check if that helps if not -> 2 ) Save the configuration (ton an external repository

), erase it and restore , check if that helps if not -> 3) Have a factory defaults reset of the device, restore the configuration and try again.

I have tried that. And it didn't help.

1. I did a firmware upgrade to the latest version, no change?

From version 1.0.03.15 to 1.0.03.17

And signature version from 2.0.0.009 to 2.0.0.0010

2. I did a factory restore, no change 

I did menssion that the router is new and there is some kind of evaluation period for Smart Software licensing I'm still in that period, but I don't think that is the problem.

I'm starting to think that it's intentionally forbidden to use SSH 

[marce1000]

  - Indeed the evaluation period  should not hamper  w.r.t this issue, on the contrary. My final remark is to check if you have any fire walling solutions albeit Intranet-based or not which could hamper connections between the ssh-client and the device. I doubt this is the case because in the original description you mentioned that failed authentications 'do work'.. So then I think you need to take up this matter with Cisco :

For anyone experiencing the same problem this is the official response.

My name is Hristina from Cisco’s Small Business Support Team and I took ownership of your case.

The console port on the RV340/345 routers is intended for future use and is currently not operational so you will not be able to console in/ssh to the device. Please use the GUI for all configuration needs.

The RV series routers are very limited in terms of CLI configuration capabilities

In addition stay away from this product if you want Command Line interface  I regret that I didn't buy a different one, but I didn't expect it not to have CLI SSH support.

So why do they send a console cable with the product then?  As well my older RV325 had both console and SSH, very odd they would go backwards.
