Resolve By solution below

1 - Remove ssh or disable by command " crypto key zeroize rsa"
2 - Generate key again by command " crypto key generate rsa"

If still cannot login ssh check by command " sh crypto key mypubkey rsa"
and chose key to used by command " ip ssh rsa keypair-name "

sample error when login

root@ssh-server:~$ ssh -l cisco 192.168.1.1
Disconnecting: Corrupted check bytes on input.
root@ssh-server:~$


example

R4#show crypto key mypubkey rsa
% Key pair was generated at: 00:04:12 UTC Mar 1 2002
Key name: R4.ruamit.co.cc
Usage: General Purpose Key
Key is not exportable.


key name is R4.ruamit.co.cc

router (config)#
ip ssh rsa keypair-name R4.ruamit.co.cc
