Global Configuration mode
User Guidelines
DSA keys are generated in pairs: one public DSA key and one private DSA
key. If your switch already has DSA 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. DSA keys, along with other switch
credentials, are distributed to all units in a stack on a configuration save.
Example
The following example generates DSA key pairs.
console(config)#crypto key generate dsa
crypto key generate rsa
Use the crypto key generate rsa command in Global Configuration mode to
generate RSA key pairs. Use the no form of the command to delete the key
from the local file system.
