First configure the hostname and a domain
<b>hostname My-Router
ip domain-name My-Company.com</b>
Then generate your SSH keys
<b>cry key generate rsa</b>
Create some usernames and passwords
<b>username Fred secret Wilma</b>
Do as many of these as you need, and they can also apply the level that this gives them access. IT can also be centralised using TACACS+ or RADIUS.
Then configure the vty ports for SSH
<b>line vty 0 4
login local
transport input ssh</b>
That should get things working for you. If I have forgotten anything (which I don't think I have) I am sure someone will correct me ;-)

What router are you using?
Doesn’t really matter – it is a Cisco, so uses IOS, and the commands are the same for almost all of them.
