sshd[20032]: fatal: Read from socket failed: Connection reset by peer

Hello F5 Experts

 

I have two F5 BigIP - LTM 11- load balancers, When the Monitoring try to logon to these it gives the below Error message.

 

sshd[20032]: fatal: Read from socket failed: Connection reset by peer

 

I have restarted the sshd service on both, but no luck.

 

Is this something related to rsa keys ?

 

Can you please help ?

    Can you clarify where that message comes from - the f5 device itself or another device that is used to access the device. Might be worth doing this from a device on which you have a browser open to the f5 GUI to ensure that this is not a connectivity issue, or perform a ping to the device first. SSH does have a configuration option to set which hosts can login via ssh - System>Platform>SSH IP Allow. It is worth checking this as a first step.

    Validate you SSH Settings for SSH IP Allow in Platform Settings. Add monitoring server IP there. System > Platform
