Generating a DSA or RSA key pair
In the key and algorithm negotiation stage, the DSA or RSA key pair is required to generate the session
key and session ID and for the client to authenticate the server.
To generate a DSA or RSA key pair on the SSH server:
To do…
Use the command…

2.
Generate a DSA or RSA key
pair.
public-key local create
{
dsa
|
rsa
}
Required.
By default, neither DSA key pair
nor RSA key pair exists.
For more information about the
public-key local create
command, see
Security Command Reference
.
To support SSH clients that use different types of key pairs, generate both DSA and RSA key pairs on the
SSH server.
The
public-key local create rsa
command generates a server RSA key pair and a host RSA key pair.
Each of the key pairs consists of a public key and a private key. The public key in the server key pair of
the SSH server is used in SSH1 to encrypt the session key for secure transmission of the key. Because
SSH2.0 uses the DH algorithm to generate the session key on the SSH server and client, respectively, no
session key transmission is required in SSH2.0, and the server key pair is not used.
The length of the modulus of RSA server keys and host keys must be in the range of 512 to 2048 bits.
Some SSH2.0 clients require that the length of the key modulus be at least 768 bits on the SSH server
side.
The
public-key local create dsa
command generates only the host key pair. SSH1 does not support the
DSA algorithm.
The length of the modulus of DSA host keys must be in the range of 512 to 2048 bits. Some SSH2.0
clients require that the length of the key modulus be at least 768 bits on the SSH server side.

Configuring the user interfaces for SSH clients
An SSH client accesses the switch through a VTY user interface. You must configure the user interfaces
for SSH clients to allow SSH login. The configuration takes effect only for clients that log in after the
configuration.
To configure the protocols for a user interface to support:
To do…
Use the command…
