After latest update to my macbook pro I noticed that my SSH connections started dropping if I kept them idle for few minutes. Each time the session terminated with the text “Write failed: Broken pipe”. I have observed that the connection used to hang for a long while before this error message was shown. <\/p>\n

This was not the behavior before so I suspected that recent updates might have changed some configuration and hence I started looking around. I found an article<\/a> which explained how to configure my Macbook.<\/p>\n

Based on the inputs provided in the article I edited the file \/etc\/ssh_config using the following command:
\nsudo vi \/etc\/ssh_config<\/code><\/p>\n

And changed\/uncommented the following lines:
\nHost *
\nServerAliveInterval 60
\nTCPKeepAlive yes
