Just get the crypto version of code , it will have a k9 somewhere in the imagename. Put it on a tftpserver then just download it into bootflash: .

On the switch once you have it on the tftpserver issue the following.

copy tftp bootflash: hit enter

input tftpserver address , hit enter

enter the filename of the image, hit enter and it should take off .


SSH

input a domain name on the switch

enter the crypto key commands
"crypto key gen rsa"
enter key size, usually 1024 is adequate
this creates the keys .

Add ssh commands on your vty lines .

Is there anyway to move over to the IOS software and get away from the CatOS? Or do you have to stay with CatOS with the 4500 series? I ask because that software above is from 2006...


Now for the IOS software I found was;

cat4000-i5s-mz.122-20.EWA4.bin

I guess my question really is which software should I be getting?

I don't want to lead you down the wrong path here , in your original note you posted a IOS version . Do a dir bootflash: , is it a catos like
cat4000-k9.8-4-11-GLX.bin or IOS ? If its catos then you are stuck with catos on the 4500 platform short of buying a new supervisor card , which would be a SUPERVISOR II + or higher which comes from the factory with IOS . Catos will support ssh version 1 only. Looking at your note it is a 4507 is probably IOS . Find a version preferrably as new as you can get it that supports SSH . which supervisor card do you have ?

 

[burtsbees]

I was going to say---those are IOS commands ...crypto key gen rsa.
SSH1 will let you generate 512 bit keys I believe, and SSH2 will go up to 2048 bit (takes a bit longer!).

You are using the 4500 series which is IOS not CatOS. You need to download a k9 IOS image.
