No management access !

Hello,

I have a weird situation with one BigIP. the GUI is simply not accessible (browser timeout) and with SSH sometimes I get the prompt bellow (not normal as I'm connecting to the management IP, not the AOM). last time I had to reboot the box to get back to a normal situation, but it seems to come back after some time. this box is part of a device group and it seems to be working fine (I can sync configuration and all IPs are reachable with ping). any idea what could be the problem ?

login as: root
root@10.192.124.12's password:


Press Enter to deactivate another concurrent session...


--- Press ( for AOM Command Menu.

    It seems to me that there are a large number of users and/or idle ones that are not closing their sessions. What version are you on please?

     

    I'd highly recommend you set some SSH and GUI idle timeouts.

    I'm running v11.4.1 HF4 I'm just in the deployement phase, not so many people connecting to this device. sometimes, it is just timing out, not even a connection refused error msg. and when it work, I get the AOM prompt.

    i would double check your AOM IP isn't the same as your management IP, might be it go mixed up at some point.
