Cisco IOS Router Basic Configuration

Hello I Ian

Looking over your config and your comments, I suggest you check the following:

  1. Since you can ping the IP address, routing to the device is successful, so no problems there.
  2. There’s no timeout, so it can’t be busy ports
  3. A refusal of connection with this message that you report means that something, such as a lack of ssh or telnet configuration, is not allowing you to connect.
  4. Are there any restrictions on the SVI interface such as access lists?

The quickest way to solve this would probably be to do a password recovery via a console and check the config. You should remove any configuration of the VTY lines and reconfigure them including a new crypto key generate rsa for your SSH configuration.

I hope this has been helpful!
