Connection Refused Cisco 2960S SSH
I can ping this switch but I keep getting "Connection refused by remote host" when I try to connect to it via SSH.  The vty 0 4 config is identical to another switch that pings and accepts SSH.  Both switches are configured "no aaa new-model".  Is there a debug that might give me a clue as to what I could be missing?  Something that would debug the ssh session connection attempt?

line vty 0 4
 privilege level 15
 login local
 length 0
 transport input ssh
line vty 5 15
 login

Do you have "transport input ssh" on the "line vty 5 15" section?

Here are the debug commands - http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk583/tk617/technologies_tech_note09186a00800949e2.shtml#debugandshowcommands

Good thought on regenerating the key.  I will try that first.

Give the man a cookie!  Thank you much.  I received two Cisco 2960S switches.  The first did not require regen of the key and SSH just worked out of the shoot.  The second one needed the regen.  Much appreciated!

I would command that I did not need to add "aaa new model" however.  That remained off as I am just using local auth.

I would *add* - not "command".  haha.  Thanks again.

A switch is a device that filters and forwards packets of data between LAN segments. Switches operate at the data link layer or the network layer of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Reference Model and therefore support any packet protocol. LANs that use switches to join segments are called switched LANs or, in the case of Ethernet networks, switched Ethernet LANs. A hub is a connection point for devices in a network. Hubs are commonly used to connect segments of a LAN. A hub contains multiple ports; when a packet arrives at one port, it is copied to the other ports so that all segments of the LAN can see all packets.
