Level 2

Hello,

You need this image c2960-lanbasek9-mz.122-50.SE3.bin

c2960-lanbasek9-mz.122-50.SE3.bin has a k9 as i mentionned earlier. make sure your image filename has a k9 if you want SSH feature.

You grabbed an image that does NOT have crypto. You need a crypto image for SSH to work.

w/o means without.

The image filename, when it's crypto will have a k9 in it.

OK I got the w/o image but I didnt get the k9 one.

Many thanks

Hi again. I have the version for ssh installed on the switch but when I get into the line interfaces to try and say only ssh for connecting I dont have that choice:

transport ?

output Define which protocols to use for outgoing connections

preferred Specify the preferred protocol to use

I should see the input option there right wich I would follow by ssh.

What is up?

Here is my sh version just to be sure:

cab2sw2-2fl-2960g#sh ver

That's very odd.

I found a 2960 with an older image around here and it has the 'transport input' available. This image is not even a SSH image.

(config-line)#transport ?

I wonder if 12.2(50)SE3 is introducing this behavior. Can you try 12.2(44)SE6 with K9 support?

Hi Edison,

Thanks for your post. Here is the output you asked for:

cab2sw2-2fl-2960g#sh ver | i IOS

Cisco IOS Software, C2960 Software (C2960-LANBASEK9-M), Version 12.2(50)SE3, REL EASE SOFTWARE (fc1)

It sure is odd.

c2960-lanbasek9-mz.122-25.SEE2.bin

I just tested this image and it works.

Have you configured a domain-name?

Have you created the crypto key?

cry key gen rsa gen mod 1024

You need the both of above in your config first.

Yes I created the keys:

cab2sw2-2fl-2960g#sh ip ssh

SSH Enabled - version 1.5

Authentication timeout: 120 secs; Authentication retries: 3

This is getting really wierd now....

And yes the domain name and host name were configured

Can't say I have ever seen that if the image is a K9 image thats loaded on any switch . So it doesn't take the transport inpuit command if you do the following?

conf t

line vty 0 15

transport input ssh

I got it!!

This what I did:

Recreated the keys and forced the use of version 2 and that did it ....

By default using a 1024 bit key size had me using version 1.99 of ssh

In global config mode I issued a

ip ssh version 2

command and that did it.

I now have the ability to do

transport input ssh

on my vty lines ...

Hurray!!!

sounds like a bug , have never had an issue using a 1024 bit key and the transport command.

Weird.

Transport input command was available on non-k9 images without any hostname and ssh enabled.
