Issue creating ssh key with IOS 15.0(2)SE5 on 2960C-8TC-S

Hi guys,

maybe someone van help me w/out my config right away since I don't have it handy right now.

So here's the thing I just recently bought that device for my network at home and of course I started configuring it from console. Then I wanted to enable ssh by prompting cry key gen rsa mod 2048. As expected the key has been generated. But when I typed ip ssh ver 2 or whatever ssh related command it continuously asks me to enable ssh by generating a key ?! Right now I have aaa new model enabled. I also  tried to "reset ssh config by zeroing the rsa key. Does anyone know about that problem. I'm working with Cisco IOS on a daily basis and have never seen this issue before.

Thanks for your help.

Cheers Phil

Did you find a resolution to this issue? I've tried so many things, deleting the keys, recreating them, but always I get the message "SSH Disabled - version 2.0".

Never mind - i found the solution in another thread:

xxxxxxxxxx(config)#crypto key generate rsa general-keys modulus 4096
xxxxxxxxxx(config)#ip ssh rsa keypair-name <insert name of generated key-pairs here>
xxxxxxxxxx(config)#exit
xxxxxxxxxx#sh ip ssh
SSH Enabled - version 2.0

Hooray! Only taken me 4 hours of searching. Thanks Cisco for making it so easy for us. Keeps us in a job I guess. ;-)
