found when you enable the server (

This command requires user interaction and generates a prompt prior to overwriting
any existing host keys.
NOTE: Only a user with superuser permissions should generate host-keys.

Dell(conf)#crypto key generate rsa1
Enter key size <1024-2048>. Default<1024>: 1024
