SSH / Putty - Access denied

(This has been taken care of, and I added the fix / mistake - it's about 7 posts down. )

login as: cisco
cisco@192.168.1.240's password:

Can anyone tell me what I'm missing?

:

Telnet works, but SSH doesn't.

This is my first time trying to set SSH up on a Cisco device, so I'm 100% sure I follow.

I did use "crypto key gen rsa" to make the key...

: Or, are you saying that my image (c3550-i5k2l2q3-mz.121-22.EA10.bin) may not support SSH?

Thanks again!

Set Up an IOS Router or Switch as SSH Client
There are four steps required to enable SSH support on an IOS router:

Configure the hostname command.

Configure the DNS domain.

Generate the SSH key to be used.

Enable SSH transport support for the virtual type terminal (vtys).

Thanks!

But... I'm pretty sure I took all 4 of those steps.

From my config:

*snip*
hostname 3550
*snip*
ip domain-name domain.local
*snip*
line vty 0 4
login
transport input ssh
line vty 5 15
login
*snip*

I'm wondering it maybe it's putty...

Does anyone else use Putty?

Check again, step 3. Where is your key?

Edit:

cry key generate rsa
ip ssh time-out 60
ip ssh authentication-retries 2

At this point, the show cry key mypubkey rsa command must show the generated key. After you add the SSH configuration, test your ability to access the router from the PC and UNIX station. If this does not work, see the debug section of this document.

Just wanted to update this -

Cisco Internetwork Operating System Software
IOS (tm) C3550 Software (C3550-I5K2L2Q3-M), Version 12.1(22)EA10, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc2)

I had to use the command: aaa new-model

"The aaa new-model command causes the local username and password on the router to be used in the absence of other AAA statements."

I just wanted to let anyone that may peek in on this know that it's fixed.

Thanks everyone!

According to this Cisco Hands On Training Podcast specially http://www.ciscohandsontraining.com/video/IOS-Version-Selection.mov ( Attention: this is a large video file) your image does not support ssh.
