An essential operation underlying a successful SSH login is generating local RSA
key-pairs by configuring
rsa local-key-pair create
. It is only necessary for you to
execute this command once and you do not have to execute it again after rebooting
the router..
For related command, see
rsa local-key-pair destroy
.
Example
Generate the host key pair and server key pair.
[3Com]
rsa local-key-pair create
The key name will be: 3Com_Host
% RSA keys defined for 3Com_Host already exist.
Confirm to replace them? [yes/no]:y
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 = 512]:

The system will display the RSA key generating process information on the screen,
where, “.” indicates that the system has generated a random number and is testing
whether it is a prime number and “+” means that the system is testing to see whether
the prime number meets the requirement.
