SSH stops working on 220 series switches

[Johan_Brand]

We have about 30 x 220 series switches installed at our sites. After +- a week SSH access to the switches stops working completely. We have telnet disabled and only ssh access enabled. Rebooting always resolves the issue. Running latest firmware at this stage ( 1.2.1.5)

So at this stage I can only do config changes via web gui. Logged case with GTAC but its been more than a month and they still not resolving issue.

Trying to see if we are the only ones with the issue or if its a know bug of some sort.

This issue has been resolved, in the current GA release for the 200-Series switches version 1.2.4.7
See our KCS article below.

Thanks - Noticed that it stops working either after 3 or 4 days of up-time.

Johan,
I have been running a script tool (.bat) for SSH and it has been connecting to my switch over 66,000 times and i am not seeing your issue but we are trying putty as well. We will keep you posted.

Hi Jason and Michael

I'm using trusty old Putty - but I have not tried using anything else.

It takes about a week for the issue to reoccur. All our switches was rebooted on the 26/01 so the issue should present itself later this week.

I am the only one sshing into the switches at this stage.

At this stage the issue is present on 18 switches with a additional 20 being deployed in the next 4days.
