no connection via ssh 2

[djoptico1]

Im trying to connect to my router via ssh 2 but ssh authentication doesn't allow me.

These are the commands that I'm using:

switch(config)#username joseph password cisco

switch(config)#ip domain-name usa.com

switch(config)#crypto key generate rsa

1024

switch(config)#ip ssh version 2

switch(confg)#line vty 0 4

switch(config-line)#transport input telnet ssh

Any help is welcome

Thanks in advance

The parts of the config seem reasonable (assuming that there would have been no error messages as they were entered). It looks like SSH ver 2 should be enabled. The output of show ip ssh from the router/switch would confirm this.

So my first question is can you verify that you do have IP connectivity from where you are attempting to do ssh to the router/switch? (probably  verifying that a ping to the router/switch is successful would be a good test of this)

My second question is can you tell us whether the vty lines are configured with any access-class? And if there is an access class then what IP address space does it permit, and is your source device within that address space?

My third question is whether the router/switch has any aaa configured? If so can you tell us details of what is configured?
