SSH configuration

[tabularasa]

Can anyone give me a sample SSH configuration to use with some Cisco 2620s ?

Thanks!

Yeah, i read that and thought i understood it. I was just hoping that someone else would put one up so i could really grasp the concept.. would this work?

aaa login-local (what does this do?)
username XX password 0 XX
cry key generate rsa (what does this mean?)
ip ssh time-out 60
ip ssh authentication-retries 2
line vty 0 4
transport input ssh


How do you connect via SSH?
in the router via :

ssh -c 3des -p 2002 [ipaddress] (whats the 2002?)

how about not in the router?


Thanks

aaa local login allows you to config usernames locally on the router instead of using the AAA server.

before anything, you need to configure the hostname and the domain name.

Once that is done, you need to generate the RSA keys.. there are two keys a public and a private ket. The default min is a 512 bit key but cisco recommends at least 1024. If you are REALLY concerned, then use 2048 bit key but go get a cup of coffee when you start it. It can take awhile.

For SSH to work, you have to have either DES or 3DES enabled.

To connect to a SSH enabled router, I would recommend Teraterm with the SSH extensions. It's free and easy to configure.
