Hi,
I created a second service console on another network. I can ping it but I can't ssh. Below is my console and switch config.
I have tried restarting networking and ssh but to no avail. I can ssh from the sc on 192.168.110.238 to 192.168.111.231.
If I ssh from a machine on 192.168.111.0 I get "connected refused".
The only thing I haven't done is reboot the server which I need to avoid as it is a major hassle.

I think this is normal behaviour. From what I recall (correct me if I am wrong) the second service console IP is strictly for redundancy (reduce host isolation probability) and is pingable, but not manageable via SSH. You can only have one service console per port group.
Perhaps someone else can confirm this.
