Unable to ssh ASA Management Interface

[cisco_lite]

I am able to ping ASA management interface, but I can't ssh into it. Below is the ssh debug output. The key is already been generated on ASA. What could be the reasons for it to fail.

Have you tried removing the old key via the "crypto key zeroize rsa" command and generating a new one?

I would also make sure you have restricted SSH to the fewest number of source host(s) as possible and require the use of SSH version 2 only.

Hope this helps.

Specific host was missing from the source list.

Thanks.
