Usage Guidelines After the key is locked, it cannot be used to authenticate the router to a peer device. This behavior disables any IPsec or SSL connections that use the locked key.

Any existing IPsec tunnels created on the basis of the locked key will be closed.

If all RSA keys are locked, SSH will automatically be disabled.
