RE: ssh access to cisco and "unfriendlies"

Before configuring the SSH server feature, you must configure a hostname and
host domain for your router

hostname sshunfriendlyrouter
ip domain-name sounfriendly.org

Before configuring the SSH server, you must generate a RSA key-pair for the
router. When you generate an RSA key-pair for the router, you automatically
enable SSH. When you delete the RSA key-pair, you automatically disable the
SSH server.

crypto key generate rsa 1024 (The recommended minimum modulus size is 1024
bits).
Then configure the ssh parameters...
ip ssh time-out 60
ip ssh authentication-retries 2
basically, you are done.  From unix machine logon using ssh -l command.  Or
I use TeraTerm Pro with ssh works like a charm.

So How do you configure to run ssh on the router? instead of telnet?

or you need to recompile your ssh distribution so that it supports des as
well
(3des is the default option). In that way it works.

If you are outside US is very unlikely that you will get a copy of 3des
capable
software by cisco. They seem to be very strict on export policy regarding
that
thing.
