the private key is never displayed to the user. DSA keys, along with other switch credentials, are distributed to all units in a stack on a configuration save. Use the crypto key zeroize dsa command to remove the DSA key pair from the system. Private keys should never be shared with unauthorized users. This command generates the following private/public key pair in the ssh_host_dsa_key and ssh_host_dsa_key.pub files. Both the RSA and DSA keys must be generated to enable the SSH server. Example The following example generates DSA key pairs. console(config)#crypto key generate dsa crypto key generate rsa Use the crypto key generate rsa command in Global Configuration mode to generate RSA key pairs for use by the SSH or HTTPS server. Use the crypto key zeroize form of the command to delete the private key from the local file system. Syntax crypto key generate rsa Default Configuration RSA key pairs do not exist. By default, 2048-bit RSA keys are generated. Command Mode Global Configuration mode User Guidelines RSA keys are generated in pairs: one public RSA key and one private RSA key. These keys are used to encrypt communication with the switch when using SSH. If your switch already has RSA keys when you issue this command, you are warned and prompted to replace the existing keys. The keys are not saved Security Commands 1182
