On all of my cisco boxes however, I can't login unless I disable
the ssh-agent as it seems to confuse the box. For example, with the

SSH how to talk to my agent, I get this:
ssh -l mylogin some3560g.my.network.com
Try ssh -o PreferredAuthentications=keyboard-interactive,password -l mylogin
some3560g.my.network.com

Bingo!
The above solves the problem. And in fact, if I simply change it to:
PreferredAuthentications=keyboard-interactive,publickey,password
I can ssh into my unix servers AND the cisco boxen without any other
steps, so this looks like a good default for me to set in my
~/.ssh/config file.
To the others who responded, when I did ssh -vvv, essentially the issue
appears as someone responded: There's a series of attempts at using
publickey authentication and (for me anyways, I have 4 keys in my
agent), when it runs out of attempts at the keys, it simply gives up.
Likely I could set up set up keys on each of the cisco I need but that
would unnecessarily complicate things.
Thanks all!
