Ubuntu Dedicated Server SSH TimeOut Problem

PROBLEM:  Dialing into my dedicated Ubuntu server the connection drops if I am not active for a relatively short time of about 2 minutes.  

SOLUTION:  IMPLEMENTED:  Added the ServerAliveCountMax ServerAliveInterval entries to the client side ssh config file.

Solution 

  • Client_loop: send disconnect: Broken pipe – Critical find 
  • ssh -o TCPKeepAlive=yes -o ServerAliveCountMax=20 -o ServerAliveInterval=15 root@IP_address 
  • This appears to imply the server has not been restarted when the restart and / or reload commands were issued. 
  • Restart server and see if these statments are still required.  >  Updated and rebooted.  Still did not hold the connection longer than ~2 minutes.
  • Checked server and client side config file and I do not see ServerAliveCountMax   ServerAliveInterval in either file
  • Which side do the settings:  ServerAliveCountMax   ServerAliveInterval entries belong in?  Is it safe to assume in the SSH_Config files?
  • Linux and VMWare: SSH avoid disconnection inactivity ( original in Spanish – link includes translation )  – see snippet below:  my guess appears to have been correct – add the entries to client side says this reference

From the SSH client side:

If the client is Linux:   Edit the configuration file:  ssh_config

  • At user level: ~/.ssh/config
  • or for all users: /etc/ssh/ssh_config
