Re: How do I connect to cisco pix via ssh?by calin (Deacon) |

The ssh implementation on the PIX is braindead. I'm having trouble with one of these beasts right now (not SSH-related). Cisco PIX 501 is such a piece of s*** that I can hardly refraing from tearing it to pieces with a sledgehammer!
You'll have a hard time connecting even from the command line. Try that first before you start coding in Perl. First, you need to generate a RSA host key on the beast, and enable SSH inbound connections. Make sure you replace the network address and mask with yours. At the serial console:
Then try connecting from the command line from a host matching the net address above (example using OpenSSH):
I realize this reply is slightly OT, but I feel sympathy for the creatures who have to deal with these abominations. The suffering need to help each other! :) Update: the OP writes: I could manually establish ssh connection to it using the s/w 'putty' & could execute commands on it. I was that mad at the beast that I didn't see that. Ignore.
