crypto key generate

Examples This example shows how to generate special-usage RSA keys:

crypto key generate rsa usage-keys

The name for the keys will be: myrouter.example.com Choose the size of the key modulus in the range of 360 Choosing a key modulus greater than 512 may take a few How many bits in the modulus[512]? <return>

Generating RSA keys.... [OK].

to 2048 for your Signature Keys. minutes.

Choose the size of the key modulus in the range of 360 to 2048 for your Encryption Keys. Choosing a key modulus greater than 512 may take a few minutes.

How many bits in the modulus[512]? <return>

Generating RSA keys.... [OK].

This example shows how to generate general-purpose RSA keys:

Note You cannot generate both special-usage and general-purpose keys; you can generate only one or the other.

webvpn(config)# crypto key generate rsa general-keys label kp1 exportable

The name for the keys will be: kp1

Choose the size of the key modulus in the range of 360 to 2048 for your General Purpose Keys. Choosing a key modulus greater than 512 may take a few minutes.

How many bits in the modulus [512]: 1024

Generating RSA keys.... [OK].
