For the life of me, I cannot ssh into the 6610, even after following all instructions multiple times.

My RSA key is 2048 bits.

Even if I enable password auth, it says my password is wrong when it isn't.

Any help would be greatly appreciated:

Here is my ssh config (all combos of commenting out lines have been tried):


Code:
StrictHostKeyChecking no
Host 192.168.2.2 (my switch)
#  PubkeyAcceptedKeyTypes +ssh-rsa
  HostKeyAlgorithms +ssh-rsa
  IdentitiesOnly yes
  KexAlgorithms +diffie-hellman-group1-sha1
  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_legacy
#  Ciphers aes256-ctr
Here are my verbose ssh logs from the connection attempt:

I don't see any reason your devices should be having an issue here. Any chance you're making use of ACLs? Here's my "guest network" ACL:
Code:
interface ve 400
 ip access-group 104 in 
 ip address 172.20.20.1 255.255.255.0
!
access-list 104 deny ip any 192.168.0.0 0.0.255.255 
access-list 104 permit ip any 172.20.20.0 0.0.0.255 
access-list 104 permit udp any eq bootpc any eq bootps
access-list 104 deny ip any 172.16.0.0 0.15.255.255 
access-list 104 deny ip any 10.0.0.0 0.255.255.255 
access-list 104 permit icmp any 192.168.0.0 0.0.255.255 echo-reply 
access-list 104 deny icmp any 192.168.0.0 0.0.255.255 
access-list 104 permit icmp any 172.20.20.0 0.0.0.255 
access-list 104 deny icmp any 172.16.0.0 0.15.255.255 
access-list 104 deny icmp any 10.0.0.0 0.255.255.255 
access-list 104 permit ip any any 
access-list 104 permit icmp any any
In particular, DHCP's DISCOVER is from 0.0.0.0:bootpc to 255.255.255.255:bootps, which is why the extra UDP rule has to be included.

To investigate your problem more, I'd suggest you mirror the traffic on that VE to somewhere that you can do a package capture or tcpdump. Your bindings say that the router thinks the address is assigned - why doesn't the NVR know?

This looks like it's not asking for your password at all. Does the ICX6610 allow publickey auth, anyway?
EDIT: I found documentation on it:
"copy tftp flash 10.168.1.234 pkeys.txt ssh-pub-key-file"
EDIT 2:
"enable" and "configure terminal", then "ip ssh pub-key-file tftp 192.168.2.138 public-key.txt"
as well as enabling pubkey in the "ip ssh" options. It looks like our 08.0.30 devices only allow RSA and DSA.


My ssh_config for challenge-response (username/password):
Code:
Host ICX6450*
  User root
  KexAlgorithms=+diffie-hellman-group1-sha1
  HostKeyAlgorithms=+ssh-rsa
  PreferredAuthentications keyboard-interactive

"copy tftp flash 10.168.1.234 pkeys.txt ssh-pub-key-file"
Slight typo in that command, here is what I have: ip ssh pub-key-file tftp 192.168.2.138 public-key.txt

In my case, it says the password is wrong everytime I enter it, even after copying your ssh config.

Yep, I was looking at a 09.0.0 document. Here's the 08.0.60 (which is too new, but seems to mostly work)

For others following along, the document says only RSA and DSA. So the key is generated with
"ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 2048 -f output-filename"
and the ssh-pubkey-file for the router is generated with
"ssh-keygen -e -f id_rsa_keyname"

Should result in something like
Code:

Spindle, the verbose logs you posted don't show an attempt to use a password at all. To eliminate assumptions, you're typing the root password for the ICX device, not the password for your public key, right?

Furthermore, after uploading the key above, I did this, and have working pubkey auth:
Code:
Host ICX6450*
  User root
  IdentityFile=~/.ssh/id_rsa_ICX6450
  KexAlgorithms=+diffie-hellman-group1-sha1

Well, I can only help you eliminate assumptions...
Does "show ip client-pub-key" agree with your key? does "show ip ssh config" agree that Public-key is an authentication method? Does "ssh -vvv switch-host" show that you're not offering multiple keys before the one you want?

@fohdeesha is there a way to make thr dhcp server in a brocade icx6450 authoritative? I setup some pools and some of my devices cannot get an ip from the pool but others can. I don't have the luxury of setting up ISC dhcpd on another device.
Check out the post from @fohdeesha back in 2018 in regards to the FastIron 08.0.30 dhcp server implementation.

Gave the built in DHCP server a go to see if I would run into your issue, and I did indeed with a couple IOT type stuff. After a ton of debugging, it turned out to be the fact the FastIron DHCP server is not set as authoritative, and some DHCP stack implementations (like Roku's and Sonos) do not like this, and will ignore it.

Thank you, I appreciate any help I can get. Still no cigar, unfortunately.

show ip client-pub-key shows my public key that I am using (RSA 2048).


ssh -vvv switch-host only shows the intended key being offered.

I verfied file permissions. Re-uploaded the key. Tried from another machine. I even created a docker container based on Ubuntu 16.04 with OpenSSL 7 to see if it had something to do with my modern client, same result.

I have already wasted a day on this! Hopefully I can get some relief soon.

EDIT: I was finally able to connect by trying a 1024 bit key! Not ideal, obviously, but I am willing to accept the risk if I specify the allowed hosts manually.

I don't see any reason your devices should be having an issue here. Any chance you're making use of ACLs? Here's my "guest network" ACL:
Code:
interface ve 400
ip access-group 104 in
ip address 172.20.20.1 255.255.255.0
!
access-list 104 deny ip any 192.168.0.0 0.0.255.255
access-list 104 permit ip any 172.20.20.0 0.0.0.255
access-list 104 permit udp any eq bootpc any eq bootps
access-list 104 deny ip any 172.16.0.0 0.15.255.255
access-list 104 deny ip any 10.0.0.0 0.255.255.255
access-list 104 permit icmp any 192.168.0.0 0.0.255.255 echo-reply
access-list 104 deny icmp any 192.168.0.0 0.0.255.255
access-list 104 permit icmp any 172.20.20.0 0.0.0.255
access-list 104 deny icmp any 172.16.0.0 0.15.255.255
access-list 104 deny icmp any 10.0.0.0 0.255.255.255
access-list 104 permit ip any any
access-list 104 permit icmp any any
In particular, DHCP's DISCOVER is from 0.0.0.0:bootpc to 255.255.255.255:bootps, which is why the extra UDP rule has to be included.

To investigate your problem more, I'd suggest you mirror the traffic on that VE to somewhere that you can do a package capture or tcpdump. Your bindings say that the router thinks the address is assigned - why doesn't the NVR know?
No ACL's at all because I'm not yet at that part of the config. I'll have those later.

Yeah, that's what's weird. The switch knows it assigned the IP but the nvr doesn't. When I plug in a windows device on the same port, no issues. When I plug in the nvr to another netowrk in another house with a pfsense dhcp server, no issues. So it's got to be th combiantion of this switch and nvr, no?

I'll see how I can mirror the traffic of a ve to do a packet dump. But what ie the disadvantage of using a non-authoritative dhcp server?

Check out the post from @fohdeesha back in 2018 in regards to the FastIron 08.0.30 dhcp server implementation.



Well that's exactly the post that made me ask my initial dhcp question in the first place. But why does it not assign the IP? I thought having a non-authoritative dhcp is only bad when you multiple dhcp servers in a subnet or something, since it doesn't reply to NACK packets?

Apparently, the NVR not accepting the lease.
I guess the better question is what is the use case of a non-authoritative dhcp server?

I don't to have this same problem in the future for other devices. It's bizarre that an enterprise L3 switch has this type of problem.

Multicast config is all default no changes. Once I upgraded the firmware it worked. What switch do you have? Does it have the latest firmware?
I have an ICX-6450P on the latest router firmware. Everything works except for multicast across VLANs. I can share my config if that could help with troubleshooting. I've tried everything, even running a VM with avahi on all VLANs and it still doesn't work.

Alright, I've got a weird one and it's driving me absolutely bonkers. This is ALL in the context of IPv6

Problem


I'm having an issue with wireless IPv6 connectivity to the internet. When a wireless client roams from the initial association WAP (access point) it loses IPv6 connectivity to the internet.

If I re-associate (reset wifi on the device) after roaming IPv6 comes back for the new WAP, roaming again will break connectivity to the internet.

Environment

Router

I have an OpnSense router with a direct "transit" connection down to a pair of stacked ICX6610's. I turned off all dynamic routing protocols and I'm using only static routing on the ICX's and the opnSense.

Switches
The ICX 6610's are running the latest firmware:
Copyright (c) Ruckus Networks, Inc. All rights reserved.
UNIT 1: compiled on Aug 8 2023 at 23:06:54 labeled as SPR08095m
(33554432 bytes) from Primary SPR08095m.bin (UFI)
SW: Version 08.0.95mT213
Compressed Primary Boot Code size = 786944, Version:10.1.26T215 (spz10126)
Compiled on Tue Nov 29 04:43:15 2022
UNIT 2: compiled on Aug 8 2023 at 23:06:54 labeled as SPR08095m
(33554432 bytes) from Primary SPR08095m.bin (UFI)
SW: Version 08.0.95mT213
Compressed Primary Boot Code size = 786944, Version:10.1.26T215 (spz10126)

HW: Stackable ICX7250-24-HPOE


The ICX's are running as L3 gateways for their respective VLANs, each vlan is using SLAAC for IPv6 address allocation.

The ICX routing table has the upstream opnSense router as it's default route.

Access Points
I trunk 3 VLANs to three different Aruba InstantOn AP22 access points, the 3 access points are split accross multiple switch ports in the stack.

Debugging Attempts
Removed all dynamic routing protocols and moved to static routes

*after* roaming to a different access point
Ping from OpnSense to wireless device - fails
Ping from hardwired device to wireless device in the same VLAN (ie no routing) - succeeds
Ping from hardwired device to wireless device in a different VLAN (ie routed through 6610) - succeeds

Here is a tcpdump from the perspective of the OpnSense router:

OpnSense: 2001:db8:2d00:24f0::1
Wireless Client: 2001:db8:2d00:2405:207a:305e:39d9:b385

During that entire test, pings from a device on the same VLAN and another device in a different VLAN experienced zero packet loss.

P.S. I'm seeing these issues ONLY with my wireless clients, my hard wired IPv6 client works great.

I wonder if you might be able to use ssh and an expect-script to send the commands to the switch
Took a little while, but this works.

Code:
#!/usr/bin/expect -f
## Sypnosis: run_script.exp <ICX_IP> <ICX_SCRIPT>
## Run script <ICX_SCRIPT> line by line on ICX <ICX_IP>. Connection via SSH certificate assumed.

set ICX_IP [lindex $argv 0]
set ICX_SCRIPT [lindex $argv 1]

set timeout 15
spawn ssh $ICX_IP
match_max 100000
expect -exact "SSH@ICX6610>"
send -- "enable\r"
expect "SSH@ICX6610#"
send -- "skip\r"
expect "SSH@ICX6610#"

set infile [open "$ICX_SCRIPT"]
while { [gets $infile line] >= 0 } {
  send "$line\r"
  expect -re "SSH@ICX6610(?:>|.*#)"
}

send_user "\r"
In the next step I'll try to create scripted tests.

Relating to the above, I found another interesting detail.

I setup port mirroring on the ICX's to take a look at the traffic out of the WAP ports.

It looks like the ping from the OpnSense router is being routed through the switch, however it's going out of the wrong port.

The echo request seems to be stuck on the initial WAP port.

When doing a mirror of the roamed WAP port, I don't see the echo request.

What's more interesting is that the switch definitely updates it's internal neighbor cache:

show ipv6 neighbor 2001:db8:2d00:2405:207a:305e:39d9:b385
IPv6 Address LinkLayer-Addr State Age Port vlan IsR
2001:db8:2d00:2405:207a:305e:39d9:b385 ac3e.b17a.0038 STALE 6333 e 1/1/12 5 0

1/1/12 is the port of the roamed to WAP

It seems like there is a mismatch when routing traffic, as it doesn't seem to get the memo that this address is now on a different port.

One more discovery for the night.

If I clear the ipv6 neighbor cache on the router, things start working even after a roam:

clear ipv6 neighbor 2001:db8:2d00:2405:207a:305e:39d9:b385

pings immediately start working again

Booo these 7250's were perfect with POE and SFP+ port count.

I think I'm going to try try the 9.x branch for the hell of it to see what it does.

I guess worst case I'll just go back to terminating all my vlans on the OpnSense, but I hate hate hate taking down the whole network when it does updates.

We'll see.
