I am having the same issue as well. I could ping the switch and ssh into it. I have no password set.

@sugetha24 I ping the switch ,but it says the same issue .Can you help me ?

[jerearista]

@Josen15 are you also attempting to connect with no password? If so, can you try with a user that does have a password?

[jerearista]

@sugetha24 Paramiko does not support keyboard-interactive login without a password.
