You mention using SSH from a router. What are you trying to SSH into?
What model router and what software version is it running?

I'm trying to ssh from a 867VAE (router) to a SF302-08P (switch) Details of router below

have you setup the sg switch to allow in ssh connections from that router ip address ?
if you access cli mode in the sg switch you should be able to debug ssh packets and see if they are even hitting the switch
No outgoing acls on the 800 series that prevent ssh port 22 blocked ?

The switch is setup correctly, and I ping the switch from the router whilst remotely connected to the router. We use the same config on all the customer routers and switches and don't have a problem, except this one. I have been into store and reconfigured both router and switch, but still get the same [Connection to xxx.xxx.x.x aborted: error status 0]

crypto key set up, domain and device name set up?
03-17-2016 05:22 AM
I have configured all my customer sites the same way, obviously with different external IP and hostname

Is this SF302-08P running the same firmware as other working ones?
Failing that I would be tempted to re-generate the RSA key on the SF302-08P.
03-17-2016 06:57 AM
Yes. The same firmware as the working ones. How do you regenerate the RSA key on the switch?

Your issue more than likely is ssh strict host key checking is enabled.
Check your ssh configuration for this command:
ip ssh stricthostkeycheck
If it's in your configuration, you have two options:
1. enable the ip ssh pubkey-chain command:
ip ssh pubkey-chain
2. Disable strict host key checking
no ip ssh stricthostkeycheck
In your case, I would try option 2.
Good Luck!
