I have an ASA 5505 located remotely (actually on a mountain top) and I am unable to SSH into that device. I have a different ASA 5505 on a different mountain top which I CAN SSH into and as far as I can tell they are configured identically, with the exception of the LAN & WAN IP Addresses.
I feel like I am missing something stupid, or I just blind after looking at these configs for hours. Any assistance is appreciated.
Here is the config (public IPs masked for security reasons) in the one I CANNOT connect to:

Has it ever worked to SSH into the ASA? If not, it could be a missing RSA keypair. Then do a
crypto key generate rsa mod 2048
If it worked before, there have been bugs that cause SSH to fail. Sometimes it helps to remove and reapply the ssh access-control:
no ssh 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 inside
no ssh 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 outside
ssh 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 inside
ssh 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 outside
If that helps, then you should update the ASAs to the latest interims-release of your preffered release.
