Extend SFTP Backup Timeout?

We have an SFTP backup that is failing because the timeout is 10 seconds.

When I log into the server and try to SSH to the backup server from the command line, I see it's taking 24 seconds before the connection is established.

The S8400 is the only thing having this latency problem in this location. Other servers are connecting instantly.

Not sure why Avaya is more finicky, but, how do we change the SFTP backup login timeout from 10 seconds to something much higher?


[pre]user@Avaya> time ssh backup@remote-server
backup@remote-server's password:
Last login: Mon Jul 13 09:35:00 2015 from pcname
Connection to remote-server closed.

Thanks
 
Actually, just fixed this.

Running [pre]ssh -v remote-server[/pre] on the Avaya showed the delay was it waiting for GSSAPI authentication. We don't use GSSAPI key store, so I disabled it on my remote server and the login time went down to 2 seconds.

Hopefully this is helpful for someone in the future.
