An SSH session fails to start or terminates unexpectedly
Symptom
An SSH session fails to start or terminates unexpectedly.
Cause
iLO is configured to use the Shared Network Port, and NIC teaming is enabled for the NIC the Shared
Network Port uses. In this configuration, network communications might be blocked in the following
cases:
• The selected NIC teaming mode causes the switch that iLO is connected with to ignore traffic from the
server NIC/port that iLO is configured to share.
• The selected NIC teaming mode sends all traffic destined for iLO to a NIC/port other than the one that
iLO is configured to share.
Action
Ensure that your Shared Network Port configuration follows the NIC teaming guidelines.
