Provided you have the apropriate image:
crypto key generate rsa
line vty 0 4 transport input ssh

I think that you also need
username whatever-you-like password any-password line vty 0 4 login local
If you don't have it already.
You may also need to fiddle with AAA but I don't understand that very well.
I have:
no aaa new-model username xxxxx privilege 15 password 7 xxxxxx ! priv 15 not needed. line vty 0 4 login local transport input telnet ssh transport output telnet ssh
It is quite likely that your 4500 Image will not be a crypto one.
The cry key gen will tell you.
This is from a 4500. R1#c? calendar cd clear clock cns configure connect copy
No crypto here.
/Remember/ If you change the host name or domain name that you need to re-create the key otherwise you /will not/ be able to connect with ssh. If you turn off all means of access other than ssh then you will not be able to connect remotely at all.
