Solved: 4506e enabling ssh access

Brainshark · ‎03-24-2008

We're trying to enable ssh for vty access to our 4506e Sup6-E and commands for our 6500 series switches don't work. Does the sup support ssh for vty access?

Software (cat4500e-ENTSERVICES-M), V

ersion 12.2(40)SG, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc2)

Hi

What is the IOS image called on your switch.

cat4500e-entservices-mz.122-40.SG.bin = No SSH

cat4500e-entservicesk9-mz.122-40.SG.bin = SSH support

So you need the k9 image.

HTH

You need the crypto version of software to runn SSH . It should look like this cat4500-ipbasek9-mz.122-40.SG.bin . Notice the K9 in the image , that is crypto.If it is not in there you do not have a crypto version and must upgrade.

Great that explains it. Strange thing is can't seem to find a crypto version for a sup 6-E

cat4500e-entservices-mz.122-40.SG.bin
