unable to generate key for ssh on Catalyst4506

[grissonwang]

I just find there is no "Crypto key generate" command line in my Catalyst4506-E with cat4500e-universal.SPA.03.01.01.SG.150-1.XO1.bin image. Is there any other command I can use to enable ssh access? I just get confused, this command is always able to use on other catalyst switch like 3750X. thanks

You need to check your version, to see if it has crypto support.

IOS filename stated does NOT support crypto.  You need to load the filename with "k9" in it.

Thanks for your guys help, I really didn't notice that. The switches I used to touch always come with Crypto version.
