| 512 |
| 768 |
| 1024 |
| Using a larger Bit Size takes more time to generate the key. |
| Approximate times are: |
| 10 seconds for a 512 bit RSA Key |
| 15 seconds for a 768 bit RSA Key |
| 1 minute for a 1024 bit RSA key |
| 30 seconds for a 512 bit DSA key |
| 1 minute for a 768 bit DSA key |
| 2 minutes for a 1024 bit DSA key |
| Some SSH clients require RSA host keys to be at least 1024 |
| bits long. |

SSL Settings
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a protocol for managing the security of data transmission over the Internet. It provides encryption, authentication, and message integrity services. SSL is widely used for secure communication to a web server.
Certificate/Private key combinations can be obtained from an external Certificate Authority (CA) and downloaded into the unit.
For more information regarding Certificates and how to obtain them see Obtaining a Certificate and Private Key on page 138.
To configure the XPort Pro SSL settings:
1. Click SSL from the main menu. The SSL page appears.
