New Post: Having trouble connecting...

I am trying to connect to a Cisco video endpoint using SS.NET. Here is my code...

        AuthenticationMethod authmeth = new PasswordAuthenticationMethod(username,password);
        KeyboardInteractiveAuthenticationMethod keyauth = new KeyboardInteractiveAuthenticationMethod(username);
        var connectionInfo = new ConnectionInfo(host, int.Parse(port), username, keyauth);
        using (var client = new SshClient(connectionInfo))
        {
            client.Connect();
             Thread.Sleep(3000);   
            client.Disconnect();
        }

This is the debug output I get...

Can someone please help me understand why this is failing.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
