Cisco 2960S enable SSH

[zemerdon]

1- Give the switch a hostname (hostname xxxxxx)

2- Give the switch a domain name (ip domain-name xxx.com)

3- Create a username and password (username xxxxxxxx password xxxxxx)

4- Use SSH v2 (ip ssh version 2)

5- Generate RSA keys (crypto key generate rsa general-keys modulus 2048)

6- Configure local login on the VTYs (line vty 0 15 (enter) login local)

7 - Allow SSH on the VTYs (line vty 0 15 (enter) transport input ssh)

SSH to the switch and when prompted use the username and password to login. (I'll assume you've taken care of the enable password)

Hope this helps.
