SSH access ESXi 4.1.0 fails

Hi all

I have a problem with SSH access on my server ESXi 4.1.0. The problem is that it keeps it all the time.

Precesely more, I go to the tab "Configuration", "Safety profile", "Properties", "Remote Tech Support (SSH)" and configure the server running (I tried all three options). Then and for a few minutes, I can connect to the server using ssh, both with the root and non-root users. But after a few minutes the ssh server stops.

I have no idea what's going on. Could you give me a hint to solve this problem?

Thanls a lot for your help.

Kind regards

Agustin

Hello

Welcome to the community

But after a few minutes the ssh server stops.

Right, this is due to default security setting that stop ssh after a certain time (don't remember what are the exact numbers). If you want to enable SSH permanently you need to go to the screen of the ESX console and enable SSH from there

  • Esxi SSH access and locking mode

    If SSH Busybox shell access has been disabled, is there a point to activate the lock mode?

    Thank you in advance.

    While you can have SSH access disabled, vCLI remote access and access PowerCLI is still possible, unless the lock mode is activated.

    If you enable the lock mode, all remote management of the ESXi hosts (whether you use vSphere Client, vCLI/vMA or PowerCLI) must firstly be connected via vSphere server.

    I hope this helps.

  • Change of SG 200-18 - management - VLAN / telnet/ssh-access?

    Hello

    We have a switch SG200-18 that should be used as a switch of working group in our environment (SW

    Version 1.1.1.8). In collaboration with CLI on big and mid range Cisco gear during the past two decades, I have a hard time to understand what follows on the SG200:

    (o) I want to change the management VLAN by default '1' to the management - VLAN used in our environment. Of course, I created this vlan in SG200-config, however when it comes to assign the management IP and VLAN management interface in the advancement of the corresponding film under "Interface IPv4-> management VLAN" selectable is the default "1". see screenshots (closed)

    So, how to define a management VLAN 1 different?

    (o) how to enable telnet/ssh-access the SG200-18 - I'd be much more comfortable with a CLI environment ;-)

    Thank you very much in advance for your help,.

    -ewald

    Hello Ewald,

    Sx200 series switch does not currently offer a CLI option. Have this feature if the Sx300 and 500 series.

    What about chaning the vlan management, you have two options.

    (1) changes the vlan by default under management VLAN > Default vlan settings. This will change all the ports and the management vlan.

    (2) adds a port as a port untagged in the new VLAN. Once this is done, make sure that something is connected to this port, like a computer. Now you should be able to change the vlan management. (This is done to prevent locking)

  • Simple Question SSH Access-List

    I am allowing SSH access for all of our Cisco devices and you want to restrict access to all the following ip addresses: 192.168.200.1 - 192.168.200.50.  I forgot the exact configuration of access list to achieve this.  The subnet is 24 and I don't want the whole subnet - seulement.1-. 50.

    Thank you

    Thomas Reiling

    Hello

    If you use ssh, make sure that you have a domain name, host name and a rsa key is generated.  Assuing you have done this, the command vty ACL and following line will do the trick.  Note that the host 1-50 list is not on a subnet barrier.

    To get it exactly

    access-list 1 remark MANAGEMENT ALLOW
    access-list 1 permit 192.168.200.0 0.0.0.31

    access-list 1 permit 192.168.200.32 0.0.0.15

    access-list 1 permit 192.168.200.48 0.0.0.1

    host access-list 1 192.168.200.50

    access-list 1 refuse any newspaper

    It would be a good idea to put it on a limit, however, so the following would be much simpler and easier to read.

    access-list 1 remark MANAGEMENT ALLOW
    access-list 1 permit 192.168.200.0 0.0.0.63

    access-list 1 refuse any newspaper

    Apply the class of access on the vty lines and authentication, I would put something there too.

    line vty 0 4
    access-class 1
    entry ssh transport

    password Bonneau

    That should do it.

    Good luck!

  • SSH access to PIX

    Hello

    I have a PIX 515. I set up SSH access to the external interface. But if I access denied with connection error.

    Invalid message type

    I set up a user name with privileg password all. Siftware is Version 6.2.

    Access with PDM works very well.

    someone an idea?

    Thank you

    First of all you have todo the foillowing

    hostname XXXXXXXX

    Domain XXXXXXXX

    passwd XXXXXXX (this is the password used to authenticate Telnet / SSH)

    Then, you create a pair of RSA keys

    CA generates the key rsa 512 (check this command you can have fun with levels of encryption, that is to say 512 or 1204)

    Allow ssh hosts/networks to your PIX

    SSH #ip address or network # #subnet mask # #interface #.

    FOR EXAMPLE

    If my external IP address my 1.1.1.1 and I needed to access your pix, you will need to enter the following command

    SSH 1.1.1.1 255.255.255.255 outside

    If you get the prompt for a user name try pix, I use software very good LSVCCs of terminal.

    Thank you

  • PIX behind Cisco 1841 - need SSH access

    Hello, trying to enable SSH access to PIX for some external host clinets.

    What are the correct Acl I need?

    Exactly correct...

    1 - on the router, you must allow incoming TCP 22 (ssh) to your PIX on the external interface of the router and also allow the flow back of the PIX inside interface of the router.

    2. - to the PIX you must generate rsa keys and save them.

    CA generates the key rsa 1024

    CA save all

    3 - on the pix you will need to allow ssh acccess to you outside of the interface

  • [SOLVED] How to create public keys to ssh to ESXi to another host?

    I have read a number of different sites trying to find information on how to do it properly, but I had no luck.  I'm afraid at this point I'm all mixed up or miss me something simple [painfully].

    My goal is to create keys so that I can ssh/scp, as root, the ESXi server to another server in linux/unix under a different name.  Most, if not all of the sites I found coverage today the reverse: ssh/scp from another machine to the ESXi server.  I assume that ssh ESXi-> another host via keys is possible...?

    I believe that I'm almost there, but in all honesty, I don't know.  Here's what I've done so far.

    • RSA and DSA keys with dropbear created on the ESXi Server
    • convert keys RSA and DSA dropbear ssh format
    • Cat's public RSA and DSA keys in the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on the server that I would like to ssh/scp
      • even tried to make a copy of authorized_keys as authorized_keys2 on the destination server
      • same CAT had the public keys of the ESXi authorized_keys & authorized_keys2
    • went up to copy the private key (!) from the ESXi server on the server I ssh/scp area in

    In regards to the box, I'm remote in I

    • keys generated with ssh-keygen - t dsa and rsa
    • typed in a sentence
    • CAT had the public key in .ssh/authorized_keys on ESXi box
      • as above in desperation I added it in the file authorized_keys local
      • copied authorized_keys to authorized_keys2
    • copied private keys (!) of the destination inbox ESXi machine

    I tried ssh username FQDN, ssh username@FQDN-l and with the IP address itself, whenever I was asked for a password.  Naturally if I just ssh hostname it trying to connect as root, which is not allowed and will fail.  Again, I apologize because I'm probably all mixed now. might be wise to simply erase all keys & start over.

    Is this possible?

    Is anyone interested in lending a hand?

  • ESXi 4.1 gss_acquire_cred failed when connecting

    I have an ESXi 4.1 with the free license installed on a Dell Poweredge 1950. I joined it to our domain Active Directory and everything was working great until yesterday. Whenever someone tries to login with 'Use Windows Session Credentials', it will fail with a simple dialog box to the customer indicating 'gss_acquire_cred failed' and 'Ok '. If I manually type domain\username and password, it connects fine. What is happening on both XP and Win7 clients. I first thought that it was a customer problem isolated until I started to do as well - then I saw errors in the hostd.log on the server. I tried to restart the server without effect. Any ideas?

    Here is how I fixed the issue of credentials of Session Windows journal.

    SSH on the ESXi host.

    Change directory to/scratch/var/tmp

    Delete the host_0 file (or move it to another location if you want to play safe).

    By using the vSphere client, open a session on the ESXi host by selecting the option use Windows logon credentials.  This should work, and host_0 gets recreated.

    I have to admit, I don't know what this file is or how it suddenly is corrupt, but recreate is seems to fix the problem.

  • Root AND non-root ssh access

    I like my scripts to a minimum access but keep my root access on the server.

    The solution w on the yellow bricks, where everything indicates, disables the root access.

    Thank you

    The user that you create has a valid shell?

    During the user add (using VIC), you can specify this option... or you need to check/etc/passwd to see if the shell is the same of the root user.

  • Access Installation Point but Xbox fails the test of the IP

    I have the WAP54 access point, I talked to my son through the configuration using his laptop. The Assistant said that it has been successfully configured. Then he connects his xbox 360 in the access point and the connection test fails on the IP address. "Fails to negotiate the IP address ' I'm stuck please help.

    Don't I have that right?

    Which makes life simple.

    Configure the WAP54G in AP Client mode.

    Assing it a unique IP address that corresponds to your current network (same subnet as your WRT54G)

    Set the Degault gateway to the IP address of your WRT54G

    Now when you place the WAP54G in AP Client mode you will need to do a site survey and select the SSID of your WRT54G. This will link the WAP54G with the WRT54G in the same way as a standard client.

    Set IP address of the XBOX manually again with unique IP address. The gateway and the DNS will be the IP address of your WRT54G.

  • SSH access to ASA

    I can not access our ASA 5505 over SSH from outside. I set this through the ASDM to allow SSH (device management > access management > ASDM, HTTPS, Telnet, SSH). I have added a rule that allows the SSH on the external interface 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0. When I try to ssh with putty, he says 'network connection closed unexpectedly server' when I look at the logs on the ASA, it shows a Built inbound TCP connection on port 22, but then immediately a disassembly TCP connection. It does not show that it is blocked by any rule. Is there something that I am missing about the SSH activation?

    Hello

    In addition to the hosts permitted to SSH for the SAA, you must set the RSA keys for the secure connection.

    In the CLI:

    generate encryption rsa key

    For these keys to work, you should have a name of host/domain configured on the SAA so name (unless you configure a dedicated RSA keys).

    So basically, configure a host name, domain name and generate the RSA key pair:

    hostname NAME_OF_ASA

    NAME_OF_DOMAIN domain name

    generate encryption rsa key

    Accept the default of 1024 and it should work.

You will then receive emails of VMware with the VMware license. It is these received licenses of VMware, which can then be placed in the portal of VMware licenses so that they can be stored and managed.

  • SSH access to LWAPP Access Point
