Did you see Bitmain has new firmware for it from 2019...
https://service.bitmain.com/support/download?product=AntMiner%20L3%2BThere are also alternative optimzations from Hive Os and others for this miner. I am looking to see if Bitmain locks your SSH ability with that firmware. So read up before doing it...but may be as simple as old firmware.
I should have mentioned this earlier, but the guy I bought it from had first flashed it to latest VNISH firmware.
