ssh into Cisco switch from Linux fails with "permission denied."
I think I'm putting in the right password, etc
Below is the config.

    I do not see the "login local" command set in your VTY lines. That needs to be entered into your VTY lines. The login local command is what directs the login to look at the local username and password.

    The box is running AAA (aaa new-model) but there is no default authentication method for the VTY lines (unless I'm going blind!). To get some basic access using the local user database you can use the following command.
    aaa authentication login default group local

    I'll apply those soon. Thank you.
    By the way, I tried "ssh internal@172.20.1.1" and "ssh 172.20.1.1"
    Do those seem right in CentOS terminal?
    Thanks.
