SSH Not Working Even After Configuration

Hi all,

 

I'm currently trying to get ssh working on my Cisco router. I've followed every ssh configuration guide I could find but nothing seems to work. I run:

// sets ssh
(config)#line vty 0 4

// requires password using locally defined credentials
(config-line)#login local

// sets inactivity timer to 3 minutes
(config-line)#exec-timeout 3

// deifnes a group of lines
(config-line)#rotary 1

// sets ssh instead of telnet
(config-line)#transport input ssh

// generates ssh keys (choose 2048 bits)
(config)#crypto key generate rsa

// sets ssh version
(config)#ip ssh version 2

// changes port for ssh
(config)#ip ssh port 2222 rotary 1

 

However, whenever I try to ssh into the router it just throws the error "Network is unreachable." I can ping the router, was able to telnet into the switch before, SSH onto other devices on my LAN, and login to console with login local so I know all of that isn't the issue.

 

I Nmap'd the router and found that port 2222 wasn't open. In  my testing, I discovered that for some reason when I set the port to anything not ending in **00 the port isn't open. However, when I set it to 9000, 9900, 10000, etc. it does work.

 

Here's my lines:

Router#show line

I'm just not sure what else could be the issue so I won't provide any other config, but I'd be more than happy to provide other config.

 

Thanks in advance, Arthur

Can you postbelow output along with VTY and (any ACL in place ?)

#show tcp vty 0

 

Try below :

 

ip ssh port 2222 rotary 1

!

line vty 0 15

rotary 1

Hi Balaji,

 

When I run #show tcp vty 0 (or any other vty lines) there is no output, just a blank line.

 

When I run the code you gave it just has the same effect of the "network unreachable" error. However the port does appear open.

 

Thanks, Arthur

Arthur

 

Would you post the output of the command show ip ssh
