in the switch configuration; they are saved in the file system and the private key is never displayed to the user. RSA keys, along with other switch credentials, are distributed to all units in a stack on a configuration save. Use the crypto key zeroize rsa command to remove RSA key pair from the system. Private keys should never be shared with unauthorized users. This command generates the private public key pairs in the following files: ssh_host_rsa_key and ssh_host_rsa_key.pub, ssh_host_key and ssh_host_key.pub files. Both the RSA and DSA keys must be generated to enable the SSH server. Example The following example generates RSA key pairs. console(config)#crypto key generate rsa crypto key pubkey-chain ssh Use the crypto key pubkey-chain ssh command in Global Configuration mode to enter public key configuration mode in order to manually specify public keys for SSH clients or an individual user. Syntax crypto key pubkey-chain ssh user-key username {rsa|dsa} Default Configuration By default, this command has no public keys configured. Command Mode Global Configuration mode User Guidelines This public key is used to authenticate an administrator to the switch when using SSH. This avoids the need for the administrator to enter a password on every login. The Key String is the contents of the public key in uu-encoded format. Security Commands 1183
