I'm having another issue with our Cisco 1720. We had a security audit done at the beginning of the year and they suggested we disable telnet and enable SSH on this router. All or Pix 501's have them, as well as our PIX 515. I'm wondering if the 1720 will allow SSH. I assume it does, because it's IOS, just like every other Cisco box, it's just not PIX IOS. Is SSH just a PIX IOS feature? I'd appreciate any help! Thanks!
 
I mean that all of our 501's and our 515 have SSH enabled. Sorry for the typo...
 
Your routers can support SSH if you have a crypto-capable IOS image. If your image name has "k9" in it anywhere you'll be able to do SSH. If not, you'll have to buy new licenses for crypto-capable images.

What IOS and feature set are you running?
 
Cisco Internetwork Operating System Software

This is what i get when i "sh vers".. it appears to be crypto-capable, but it's showing it as a T9 not a K9. Maybe i shouldn't make so many assumptions. :)

I believe that's the IP feature set. It also appears to be deferred. If you don't need the "T" features then I'd recommend getting the latest mainline 12.1 release. If you need those features then get the latest 12.2 mainline release.

You'll want to get the IP PLUS IPSEC 3DES feature set. The IP-only feature set does not support crypto.
 
I appreciate all your help! Thanks!
