Description
Use the public-key local create command to create a local DSA key pair or RSA key pairs.
Note that:
z
Generating the RSA and DSA key pairs on the server is prerequisite to SSH login.
z
After entering this command, you will be prompted to provide the length of the key modulus. The
length is in the range 512 to 2048 bits and defaults to 1024 bits. If the key pair already exists, the
system will ask you whether you want to overwrite it.
z
The key pair created by this command can survive a reboot. You only need to configure it once.
Related commands: public-key local destroy , display public-key local .
Examples
# Create local RSA key pairs.
<Sysname> system-view
System View: return to User View with Ctrl+Z.
[Sysname] public-key local create rsa
The range of public key size is (512 ~ 2048).
NOTES: If the key modulus is greater than 512,
It will take a few minutes.
Input the bits in the modulus[default = 1024]:
