powerconnect 5324 and connection reset by peer over ssh
I use ssh a lot, the 5324 is relatively new to be. I am not 100% sure, but I think that since adding the switch, it will reset the connection after 5 minutes of inactivity.
I can ssh from my home to my work, and if I let it sit there, in 5 minutes, I get:
Read from remote host test.example.com: Connection reset by peer
If I run ping on that same connection, it stays up forever.
If I ssh to another network, where they do not have a 5324, I am also able to stay logged in, so I now know it is not my local machine. Remote machine on the 5324 network and the other network are both the same OS's, so I doubt the remote.
I looked over every page in the web admin for the 5324 and see no timeout setting for this. I am pretty sure I can just configure ssh to send a small packet every now and then, but since this was not an issue in the past, I would like to figure it out.
I could put a dumb hub between the internet and the 5324 and plug a machine into it, then ssh to that, if it does not happen there, I know it is the 5324 for sure. Any suggestions or first hand knowledge of this?

There is a default SSH timeout of 10 mins. Was it definately 5 mins of inactivity which caused your connection reset?
You can change the default timeout on the switch using the following command:-
"line ssh"
"exec-timeout 0-65535 mins"
You could try the above to see if this stops the timeout.
Thanks
