Hi all,
I am using a Cisco PIX 501 OS is 6.3(5). I set it up to use ssh using the "ca generate rsa key 1024" command alongside with the hostname and domain-name and ssh 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 outside.
This works just fine, however after a few days using the PuTTY client I get a "Server terminated the connection" when trying to connect. Then the only way to get it to work again is to issue from the inside interface (i.e. either through telnet or hyper terminal) another ca generate rsa key 1024 command again and up and running it is once again till the next few days when it will give me the exact same error. My question is, does this happen by behaviour where you need to regenerate the rsa key? If not, how can I fix it so it stays permanent?
Thanks for your help in advance.
Jamie
PS I do issue the write mem command after generating the rsa key so it is not a case where this is not written to the startup file and the pix reboots without it...
