Solaris - Cisco router connectivity

Hello Experts,

My doubt is: Is it possible to connent a Solaris machine (with SSH enabled) to a Cisco router through SSH connection?

I don't know how to configure SSH Server/Client in Cisco router. But incase if its enabled, is it possible to connect to them from a Solaris machine ?

Here in the given below example, I'm able to telnet to a cisco router (IP: 157.95.25.4) but not SSH. Is there any different syntax for SSH to network devices?  I assume that in Cisco router SSH access must be always available along with Telnet as it is more secured.

[root@just root]# ps -ef|grep sshd
root      1733     1  0 Nov10 ?        00:00:01 /usr/sbin/sshd               <-- SSH is running
root      5168  5099  0 01:07 pts/0    00:00:00 grep sshd
[root@just root]# ssh 157.95.25.4                                                  <-- SSH to Cisco router, connection refused
ssh: connect to host 157.95.25.4 port 22: Connection refused
[root@just root]# telnet 157.95.25.4                                               <-- Telnet works  
Trying 157.95.25.4...

Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes

I would appreciate if you could respond me at the earliest since it is very urgent for me.
