SSH Commands
1265
Default Configuration
RSA key pairs do not exist.
Command Mode
Global Configuration mode
User Guidelines
RSA keys are generated in pairs: one public RSA key and one private RSA key.
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 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.
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 such as SSH client public keys.
Syntax
crypto key pubkey-chain ssh
Default Configuration
By default, this command has no public keys configured.
Command Mode
Global Configuration mode
User Guidelines
This command has no user guidelines.
