SSH broken on fresh install

Anyone run across this? I’ve tried several different versions of the 1.5 rolling release as well as a very old rolling release from 1.4. I am installing on a Sophos XG210 with a blank config every time.

I setup a PtP ospf link to my core switch and a loopback interface then enable the ssh service. None of the operational commands for generating the ssh server keys seem to work.

This is what I am getting when attempting to SSH to the device.

So how does your config look like and what kind of operational commands do you attempt?

After generating the keys did you try to reboot the box?

Hey, thanks for responding apachez. It’s going to be difficult to gather that as I only have access to the KVM console at the moment but I’ll summarize.

set interfaces ethernet eth0 address x.x.x.x/30
set interfaces dummy dum0 address y.y.y.y/32
set protocols ospf parameters router-id y.y.y.y
set protocols ospf area 0.0.0.0 network 192.168.0.0/16
set protocols ospf interface eth0 network point-to-point
set service ssh port 22

As for the operational commands, I have not rebooted after generating them but I have attempted both the generate pki command as well as the generate ssh server-key command.

The server-key command hangs on 1.4 and the pki command throws a python exception. I have not tried the server-key command on 1.5 releases but all versions attempted have raised the same exception. I will try and make some time to gather additional information today.

I’ve recently installed a 1.5 rolling release as a guest on proxmox with no issue as well so I’m not sure what the issue could be. I’ve never had to generate an ssh server-key on a fresh install before.
