I had the same problem with a set of new filers all running 8.0 code. Searching NOW I found this KB https://kb.netapp.com/support/index?page=content&id=2013198 Indeed on the ONTAP 8.0x systems the default value for ssh.idle.timeout is set to 0 whereas on all 7.x filers it was set to 600. After changing it on the 8.0x filers, things seems to be working OK. Hope this helps

Hi Guys I ran into this one last year doing some early testing on pre-release 8.0.1. Never occurred to me this is a bug that might be experienced in the field - my bad. It has since been reported as bug 485715 http://now.netapp.com/NOW/cgi-bin/bol?Type=Detail&Display=485715. Although the bug report lists no workaround, I found that appending a command that takes a few seconds, like ping <something that isn't there> or "sysstat -c 1 3' gave the command you wanted time to complete output before the SSH connection is closed.
That's not a workaround for what I'm seeing. I actually get the output of the second command, but the output from the first command is still truncated. It doesn't seem to be SSH related to me.
Here's another one I just ran:
# ssh <filer> options acp.domain 16820416 acp.enabled on ndmpd.enable on #
Note that I didn't get the first three lines, I got the first two lines and one random line from the middle.
Please open a case with NetApp support and have them add you/your case as call_rec to burt 485715.
Done. Thanks for the pointer.
