compact switches C2960G

[pcfreak49]

how can you configure a compact switches C2960G ssh and telnet for remote access ?

[Preston Chilcote]

The standard way to configure these in IOS is documented in the "Set Up an IOS Router or Switch as SSH Client" section of this doc:  http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk583/tk617/technologies_tech_note09186a00800949e2.shtml

I want to remotely into the switch via an ssh port 4000

[Preston Chilcote]

You can configure this in global config mode:

ip ssh port 4000 rotary 1

Then specify which vty's are part of this rotary group (which is group 1 as configured above):

line vty 0 5
login local
rotary 1
transport input all

I've tried that but it does not I can not configure how you can solve this

[Preston Chilcote]

Please be more specific about what happens when you try to configure it.  It would be very helpful if you post logs of your attempt to configure it.

I can only choose from these commands

SW1 (config) # ip ssh?
   authentication-retries Specify number of authentication retries
   DSCP IP DSCP value for SSH traffic
   logging Configure logging for SSH
   Precedence IP Precedence value for SSH traffic
   source-interface Specify interface for source address in SSH
                           connections
   time-out Specify SSH time-out interval
   Specify version protocol version supported

SW1 (config) # ip ssh

That's helpful thanks.  Can you also post a show version from the switch?

I finally got a chance to test this in the lab as well on a switch instead of a router.  I got the same results as you.  Looks like this command isn't supported on the 2960 or even the 3750, so I don't see a way you'll be able to configure ssh to port 4000.  I don't see any plan to support in the future either.  If anyone reading this thread can post a good justification to integrate this feature on these switches, it may help prioritize it.

yes I need that for my studies but can not telnet in a good way to work, knows that a new version of IOS for switches hey it might work
