Dear Reader; Cisco 2621 router with IOS (tm) C2600 Software (C2600-I-M), Version 12.2(5)



I want to be able to use SSH from the internet. Looking at Cisco's Secure Shell Commands reference it says to generate an RSA key first using crypto key generate rsa from global config mode. When I do that I receive the following. According to Cisco's reference this feature was added to 11(3). Any suggestions? Thanks. Michael Hubbard



Loud_2620(config)#crypto key generate rsa ^ % Invalid input detected at '^' marker.

Do you have a K9 image running ? What is the flsh file-name of the running image of IOS ?

Hi,

Maybe you are using the wrong IOS version as in not the number but the software feature set.

Many thanks

-I- = IP only.

I think that you need more than that for ssh. In fact I think you need the full crypto image. $$$

By the way -M = Run from RAM

Z = compressed image file (which you don't have)

Thanks for the replies everyone!

I didn't realize that I would need the crypto feature set for ssh but since you have to generate an RSA key I guess that makes since.

Sorry for not posting the ver. I knew to do that but just forgot.
