Generates a request for an EAP certificate to authenticate the switch to 802.1X supplicants (clients).
Generates a request for a WebAAA certificate to authenticate the switch to WebAAA clients.
Generates a request for an administrative certificate to authenticate the switch to Web View.

128 512 1024 Length of the key pair in bits.

2048Note: The minimum key length for SSH is 1024. The length 128 applies only to domain and is the only valid option for it.

Defaults: None.

Access: Enabled.

Usage: You can overwrite a key by generating another key of the same type.

SSH requires an SSH authentication key, but you can allow MSS to generate it automatically. The first time an SSH client attempts to access the SSH server on a switch, the switch automatically generates a 1024-byte SSH key. If you want to use a 2048-byte key instead, use the crypto generate key ssh 2048 command to generate one.

Examples: To generate an administrative key, type the following command:

DWS-1008# crypto generate key admin 1024 key pair generated.

crypto generate request

Generates a Certificate Signing Request (CSR). This command outputs a PEM-formatted PKCS#10 text string that you can cut and paste to another location for delivery to a certificate authority.

This command generates either an administrative CSR for use with Web View or an EAP CSR for use with 802.1X clients.

After type the command, you are prompted for the following variables:
