You probably downloaded the wrong image. There are images "w/o crypto" and images where crypto is not mentioned. You need the later ones, these have a filename that includes "k9" which stands for crypto-support.

Thanks.
I scrolled down below the image I had originally downloaded and found the K9 image. I loaded it and ssh works now.

Hi,
I just recently purchased x2 Cisco 3550 switches to aid in my ICND1 + 2 studies and have discovered that the current IOS version they are running isn't the version that supports "Crypto Key Generate".
Is it possible to obtain "c3550-ipbasek9-mz.122-44.SE6.bin"?
Any help in this mater would be greatly appreciated.

For SSH, you need a k9 image, and you have not installed that. U have
