I have a routerboard 1200 running at the head end of my network with a public IP address. I have routerboard 750’s that I will be deploying in remote locations. I have set up L2TP tunnels to the 750’s and that is working fine. I can ssh into the 1200 just fine and from there ssh into the 750 with no problem. When I try to ssh from the 750 to a client device plugged into it (open-mesh OM1P wireless node) I get the error message “DH_compute_key failed err: 102”. My research tells me that this is a public/private key issue and I have found instructions on how to generate those keys. My question is, do I have to go through all of that or is there an easier way to get a simple ssh login to run? If I do need to generate and import those keys do I need to do it for all of the devices or would the headend 1200 be enough. I don’t know a lot about public/private key usage.
Try to setup your client device to use regular password authentication instead of public key authentication. It should be an option.
Thanks for the help, that did the trick. I still can’t ssh into the client node. Now I get the message “while resolving ip6:name does not exist”. but you got me one step closer. Thanks again.
