This is, in fact, what we do; it still makes me nervous. Marshall

Hey, we have had to do without SSH in more than one CISCO IOS build in the last 6 months in 12.1 / 12.2.
This always made me feel very nervous.
One way of avoiding this is to always have a console server that has SSH implemented into the IOS build ( or even a separate vendor that supports SSH ). This way you centrally access your network devices from
one spot, authenticated by SSH, if any of the devices in question do not support SSH ( yes this can be impractical, but I typically want to have console access to every device I administer if possible anyway ).
