Some more info on the issue... (Score 1)

Cisco switches can use ssh as of CatOS 6.1(look for images with k9 in the name). 12.x IOS also offers ssh and kerberized telnet. Also notice that Cisco is only sshv1 capable. This is pretty much standard throughout all vendors.(Foundry,Juniper,Cisco and I believe Nortel/Alteon)

Quoted from Cisco on the sshv1 vs sshv2: "Primarily, Cisco wishes to keep its engineering talent working on core features within devices rather than developing and maintaining other features that provide infrastructure security through encryption." On sshv1 vulnerability as demonstrated by Dug Song and response from Richard Silverman. http://www.groar.org/pres/MonkeyInTheMiddle/Monkey InTheMiddle-en.html#toc2 http://sysadmin.oreilly.com/news/silverman_1200.ht ml
