SSH access is critical when it comes to managing your networking equipment. In this tutorial I will show you how to enable SSH access on the Cisco ASA.

Just enter the following commands in a configuration terminal and you will be all set.

asa(config)# crypto key generate rsa general-keys modulus 2048

asa(config)# username testuser password testpass

asa(config)# aaa authentication ssh console LOCAL

asa(config)# ssh version 2

And that’s it.
