CLI Reference Guide
To generate and configure an RSA or DSA key pair, use the crypto key
command.
Configure an RSA key pair.
Configure a DSA key pair.
Specifies the size of the key pair(s): For RSA the valid values are 512, 768,
1024, and 2048. For DSA the valid values are 512, 768, and 1024. For SSH
version 2, the minimum recommended key size is 768 bits. A key size with a
larger number provides higher security but takes longer to generate.
(Optional) Regenerates the keys and suppresses the warning prompt for
overwriting existing keys.
None
Privileged EXEC
To support SSH login, an RSA or DSA key pair must first be generated. This
command can generate either an RSA or DSA key to provide greater security
when logging into the server using SSH. The NBITS value is required to specify
the size of the key pair.
This example shows how to create an RSA key, 1024 bits:
