Can you ping the IP? if so can you check ssh is enabled "options ssh.enable on"

Hi,

Use the secureadmin commands to set up and enable the secure protocols, SSH and SSL.

ex : secureadmin setup -f -q ssh

The -f option forces setup to run even if the SSH server has already been configured.
The -q option is the non-interactive mode for setting up SSH. See the na_secureadmin(1) man
page for more information

After you have set up SecureAdmin to enable SSH and SSL, the following options are set to on:

    options ssh.enable
    options ssh2.enable (if you enabled SSHv2 during SecureAdmin setup)
    options ssh.passwd_auth.enable
    options ssh.pubkey_auth.enable
    options httpd.admin.ssl.enable

Thanks

Thanks for the reply..

I am not able to ping the IP as well, earlier it worked fine but not any more. SSH, SSL are enabled.

Is your network adapter on the VM set correctly?

if you can't ping it then check your network settings (gateway\dns\ip) whast the output of "ifconfig -a" and "rdfile /etc/rc". Is it interface on a particular vlan?

Thanks in advance.

Change the network adapter to NAT: Used to share the hosts IP and see if you can ping

This happens every so often...the VSIM thinks someone is logged in and 7-Mode allows only ONE connection at a time. From the VSIM console, type "logout telnet" then try ssh again and let us know it works...or not.

i tried it too, even now. it says "No active telnet session is present"

even telnet.enable is ON

I have seen it say no connections but then it does free ssh for login.
