Can no longer ssh into iLO

[Afelis]

Hi,

I am having trouble connecting to iLO 4's command line on a ProLiant DL560 Gen9 server.

After successfully connecting to the iLO's command line through SSH a few times, it suddenly stopped working and  since then all connection attempts end up with a timeout on port 22.

The iLO's ip is rechable by ping, and the browser interface is still accessible; Under Access settings I made sure that ssh is enabled on port 22.

I have tried checking the documentation and found the following:

The iLO firmware can support simultaneous access from five SSH clients.

HPE iLO 4 Scripting and Command Line Guide

My guess is that my previous connections are still open, preventing access. How can I check if that is actually the case and close those connections?

Hi @shiva_jr,

the solution you proposed solved my issue (and is definitely faster than rebooting the iLO).

Thank you for your help!
