• Check that you have a valid network connection to the switch and that the

 

 

port you are using has not been disabled.

 

• Be sure you have configured the VLAN interface through which the

 

management station is connected with a valid IP address, subnet mask

 

and default gateway.

 

• Be sure the management station has an IP address in the same subnet as

 

the switch’s IP interface to which it is connected.

 

• If you are trying to connect to the switch via the IP address for a tagged

 

VLAN group, your management station, and the ports connecting

 

intermediate switches in the network, must be configured with the

 

appropriate tag.

• Be sure you have generated a public key on the switch, and exported this

 

key to the SSH client.

 

• Be sure you have set up an account on the switch for each SSH user,

 

including user name, authentication level, and password.
