ASR1002-x Security License just for SSH?

[ahmad82pkn]

Hi, we are about to buy Cisco ASR 1002-X router, By default it comes with IPBASE License.

As per PCI we shouldnt be using telnet to access router, but as per research IPBASE dont support SSH.

so does that mean i will need to buy Security license just to enable SSH feature on router for remote management ? :-s

please guide, if my assumptions are wrong.

SSH support depends on the IOS you've downloaded.  Make sure the IOS filename contains "k9".   If the filename doesn't contain "k9" then it doesn't support SSH.
