Cisco 6509 switch cannot be configured with SSH, prompting an error

Cisco 6509 cannot be configured with SSH, and an error is reported，Knock on the first word crypto? just prompt unrecognized command，What should be the correct command, or this software version does not support SSH

The image of my device is

Time since C3_CA6509_OA_A switched to active is 14 years, 3 weeks, 3 days, 22 hours, 43 minutes
System returned to ROM by power-on (SP by power-on)

Because the IOS version does not support encryption.

Hello,

you need an image that contains 'k9', such as this one:

s2t54-adventerprisek9-mz.SPA.155-1.SY8.bin

Hi,

You run ENTERPRISE W/VIP software which does not support ssh. The same IOS release version for your box (Sup2/MSFC2) with ssh/3DES support reads c6sup22-jk2sv-mz.121-27b.E.bin.

Best regards,

Antonin
