Different long login time via ssh on FTD 4115 7.2.4

[seahorse]

The two FTD 4115 are configured in HA and are in similar network.

In general they should have the same time to login.

On one box it is the general time to login via ssh, but on the other it takes more than 70 sec to get a prompt.So far I have not seen this different behavior.

The boxes have the same platform settings.

Any hint?

Thanks.

Delay could be based on the geo-location and latency and how busy the box.

can you ping constantly see any latency increasing and also check the CPU ?

Thanks for your comment.

The boxes hae the same geo-location and current there is no production traffic on it.
The ping answers do not differ. CPU is the same.

Hope you are connecting using IP address rigt ? not DNS (FQDN ?)

[seahorse]

yes, for connecting ip address is used

  - That does not mean that the PTR problem is out of scope , will depend on the implentations in the SSH client ,

if that is should work as expected.  if they are identicall - run packet capture and check

 - Might be due to SSH waiting for affirmative DNS response on PTR (reverse) DNS lookup for the HA partner being connected to , usually that info will not be present  and or advertised   on a DNS server ,
