Description

Trying to connect to a Cisco CBS350 produces the following:

PS C:\> New-SSHSession 172.20.0.76

cmdlet New-SSHSession at command pipeline position 1
Supply values for the following parameters:
(Type !? for Help.)
Credential
User: user
Password for user user: ********

New-SSHSession: Session operation has timed out
[16.642s] [16:12:04]
PS C:\>

I get this no matter how long I set the timeout for. The connection works using OpenSSH or PuTTy.

I'm aware I need to use streams with Cisco switches, but I can't even get the session to establish to use a stream.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure with the New-SSHSession command against a Cisco CBS350, using the timeout settings described in the issue. Compare the failing Posh-SSH connection with the working OpenSSH or PuTTY connection, then verify that a Posh-SSH session can be established before streams are used.
