SSH Timeouts

I just setup the F5 VE trail. But when i connect via SSH it keeps disconnecting at random times. This can be 1-2 secs or a few minutes.     Can anyone help ?

You could run tcpdump on LTM VE and see if the resets are coming from LTM:

 

 

Capture on TMM switch ports

 

tcpdump -nni 0.0 host CLIENT_IP

 

 

Capture on maagement port

 

tcpdump -nni eth0 host CLIENT_IP

 

 

 

You could also temporarily enable debug on sshd using 'b sshd loglevel DEBUG'.
