Not to mention that Cisco's SSH implementation is Version 1 SSH, and it only supports the encryption already present in the IOS, so if you haven't paid for an encrypting IOS you can't do anything constructive. And, of course, if you only have the (single) DES encrypting IOS, you'll have trouble finding a client (other than another Cisco router) that will talk to it, since most other SSH packages consider DES to be insecure. But, if after Ted's and my comments you still want to go that path, SSH was introduced in IOS version 12.1T.
