SSH Commands

RSA key pairs do not exist.

Global Configuration mode

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.

The following example generates RSA key pairs.

console(config)#crypto key generate rsa

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.

By default, this command has no public keys configured.

Global Configuration mode

This command has no user guidelines.
