Cisco 2621 SSH Version Question

Level 1

Hello again, I am running a Cisco 2621 router with iOS version 12.3(24) and I would like to set up SSH version 2, however, I see only version 1.5 is installed.  Is SSH version 2, or 1.99 available on this version of iOS? I have googled and have not come up with a solid answer.  Thanks so much!

  • SSH Version 2.0 (SSH v2) support was introduced in Cisco IOS platforms and images start in Cisco IOS Software Release 12.1(19)E.

show ip ssh <<- share this 

Can you point me to a configuration guide for SSH version 2 please?

I have followed the setup procedure as described in the link, and have set up SSH 1.5 successfully, but it is only version 1.5.  If I type:#ip ssh version 2, i get an error as follows:

router#enable

router#ip ssh version 2
^
% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.

What am I doing wrong?

carter(config)#ip ssh version 2

you must enter the conf t mode then config the SSH version

Tried that, this is what I am seeing:


gateway1#enable
gateway1#conf t
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
gateway1(config)#ip ssh version 2
^
% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.

can you share this 
gateway1(config)#ip ssh version ?


gateway1(config)#ip ssh ver
^
% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.

gateway1(config)#ip ssh ?

break-string break-string

  • Before configuring SSH, ensure that the required image is loaded on your device. The SSH server requires you to have a k9 (Triple Data Encryption Standard [3DES]) software image depending on your release.
