hello,
Any news about this case ?
Same problem here :
x440g2-12p exos 31.2.1.1 =>
   1- ssh stop running after reboot
   2- unable to reneable ssh and generate new ssh key
   3- same after new reboot
   4- downgrade to 30.2.2.17 and then was able to enable ssh
   5- save + reboot => OK
   6- upgrade to 31.2.1.1 + reboot => KO

any idea ?
thanks

I am having the same problem but with EXOS 30.7.1.1 patch 1-54 installed. SSH was working when I setup the switch but ssh stopped working after a reboot… and no rebooting again did not fix it.

Would appreciate anything we can try, otherwise will open a ticket with GTAC I guess.
 

Thanks

Hello,

I guess you already tried to reboot and test again?

Personally I would use the new 31.x firmware only for the switches where you currently need it: The 5520. For all other switches I recommended 30.7.1.1-patch1-54 or patch1-86. Have it on several hundred switches - no problems. 31.x generally seems to have a few problems.
