Troubleshooting
Unusual Network Activity
The public key file you are trying to download has one of the following
problems:
■ A key in the file is too long. The maximum key length is 1024 characters,
including spaces. This could also mean that two or more keys are merged
together instead of being separated by a <CR><LF>.
■ There are more than ten public keys in the key file.
■ One or more keys in the file is corrupted or is not a valid rsa public key.
Client ceases to respond (“hangs”) during connection phase. The
switch does not support data compression in an SSH session. Clients will often
have compression turned on by default, but will disable it during the
negotiation phase. A client which does not recognize the compression-request
FAILURE response may fail when attempting to connect. Ensure that
compression is turned off before attempting a connection to prevent this
problem.
Stacking-Related Problems
The Stack Commander Cannot Locate any Candidates. Stacking oper­
ates on the primary VLAN, which in the default configuration is the
DEFAULT_VLAN. However, if another VLAN has been configured as the
primary VLAN, and the Commander is not on the primary VLAN, then the
Commander will not detect Candidates on the primary VLAN.

Event Log for indications of problem areas.
All Users Are Locked Out of Access to the Switch. If the switch is func­

access to the switch, the problem may be due to how the server
and/or the switch are configured. Use one of the following methods to recover:
■ Access the server application and adjust or remove the
configuration parameters controlling access to the switch.
■ If the above method does not work, try eliminating configuration
changes in the switch that have not been saved to flash (boot-up
configuration) by causing the switch to reboot from the boot-up
configuration (which includes only the configuration changes made
prior to the last
write memory command.) If you did not use write
