SSH login to Cisco switch using Rancid times out
- by Lars
I have a 3560 switch that I have configured to accept SSH logins, and this works fine. However I cannot get Rancid to complete the login process to any of my switches using SSH. I get a timeout error after a minute or so. Telnet logins work fine with the same username and password.
Here is my rancid setup in .cloginrc:
add user * {myuser}
add password * {strongAccessPassword} {strongEnablePassword}
add method * ssh telnet
Then, when I run bin/clogin 10.10.1.10 I get:
# bin/clogin 10.10.1.10
10.10.1.10
spawn ssh -c 3des -x -l myuser 10.10.1.10

Error: TIMEOUT reached
Again, when I do this using telnet as my preferred mothod in .cloginrc, it works without issue.
