ip ssh crypto
host-key generate
This command generates the host key pair (i.e., public and private).
Syntax
ip ssh crypto host-key generate [ dsa | rsa ]
dsa – DSA (Version 2) key type.
rsa – RSA (Version 1) key type.
Default Setting

Command Usage
◆ The switch uses only RSA Version 1 for SSHv1.5 clients and DSA Version
2 for SSHv2 clients.
◆
This command stores the host key pair in memory (i.e., RAM). Use the ip
ssh save host-key command to save the host key pair to flash memory.
◆ Some SSH client programs automatically add the public key to the known
hosts file as part of the configuration process. Otherwise, you must
manually create a known hosts file and place the host public key in it.
◆ The SSH server uses this host key to negotiate a session key and
encryption method with the client trying to connect to it.
Example
Console#ip ssh crypto host-key generate dsa
