1. Setup Management IP
First, make sure you have performed basic network configurations on your switch. For example, assign default gateway, assign management ip-address, etc. If this is already done, skip to the next step.
In the following example, the management ip address is set as 192.168.101.2 in the 101 VLAN. The default gateway points to the firewall, which is 192.168.101.1
2. Set hostname and domain-name
Next, make sure the switch has a hostname and domain-name set properly.
3. Generate the RSA Keys
The switch or router should have RSA keys that it will use during the SSH process. So, generate these using crypto command as shown below.
Also, if you are running on an older Cisco IOS image, it is highly recommended that you upgrade to latest Cisco IOS.
4. Setup the Line VTY configurations
Setup the following line vty configuration parameters, where input transport is set to SSH. Set the login to local, and password to 7.
If you have not set the console line yet, set it to the following values.
5. Create the username password
If you don’t have an username created already, do it as shown below.
Note: If you don’t have the enable password setup properly, do it now.
Make sure the password-encryption service is turned-on, which will encrypt the password, and when you do “sh run”, you’ll seee only the encrypted password and not clear-text password. /xcode-github-failed-to-generate-keys.html.

After the above configurations, login from a remote machine to verify that you can ssh to this cisco switch.
In this example, 192.168.101.2 is the management ip-address of the switch.
