Hi all,

Is it possible to use SSH to manage routers and switches with IOS IP only ?

Thank You very much

Some, but not generally. There is often a distinct image that
one has to load that has ssh support.

Your article-id suggests that you are in France. Since Cisco is
a "foreign company" as far as France is concerned, would Cisco
have to provide an ssh "back door" in order to satisfy the
laws in France about foreign corporations being required to give
their encryption keys to France ?

ThankYou Walter for your answer.

i dont's understand your question about encryption in France.
in France, the encryption is denied but not in this case...

I have two routers with 12.2(7r) IPBase image and they do not show the
option SSH for "transport input".

Another router with AdvanceIPServicek9 shows me that option.

So I guess the IP image does not provide ssh connection.

Thanks a lot DT

IANAL, but it seems that there are no key-escrow type restrictions for
importing devices running SSH to France.

However, export regulations of the USA subject SSH to special scrutiny,
which is why SSH is only available in K9 classified images.

Check out
http://www.rsasecurity.com/rsalabs/node.asp?id=2333

"France used to have strong restrictions on import and domestic use of
encryption products, but the most substantial restrictions were abolished in
early 1999. Export regulations are pursuant to the Wassenaar Arrangement and
controlled by Service Central de la Sécurité des Systèmes d'Information
(SCSSI)."

Seems there was a big hulabaloo in 1997, but cooler heads prevailed.
