I am in the process of converting our devices over to SSH. I am trying to make this as seemless as possible.
Here is the issue:
I want to be able to type an IP at the CLI and use SSH, instead of the default method of telnet.
I want to not have to use the SSH command to initiate sessions to other devices.
Here is my SSH config:
crypto key gen rsa gen label SSH_Keys mod 1024
ip ssh version 2
ip ssh authentication-retries 3
ip ssh time-out 90
ip ssh logging events
username bret secret test
enable secret cisco
aaa new-model
aaa authentication login default local
aaa authentication enable default enable
line con 0
transport preferred ssh
line vty 0 4
transport input ssh
transport preferred ssh
This is on a 2821 router with c2800nm-adventerprisek9-mz.124-24.T.bin loaded.
Is this even possible?

No, it's not possible. You need to use the ssh -l [username] [ip address] syntax.
When typing just the IP address, you aren't invoking the telnet command or whatever is set as default transport, you are invoking the connect command which supports only few protocols

Edison,
Thanks for clearing that up. The "connect" command. I'll have to look that up with that link.
