COMMAND LINE INTERFACE

Example

Console#delete public-key admin dsa

Console#

ip ssh crypto host-key generate

Use this command to generate the host key pair (i.e., public and private).

Syntax

ip ssh crypto host-key generate [dsa rsa]

•dsa – DSA (Version 2) key type.

•rsa – RSA (Version 1) key type.

Default Setting

Generates both the DSA and RSA key pairs.

Command Mode

Privileged Exec

Command Usage

•This command stores ip ssh save host-keymemory.

the host key pair in memory (i.e., RAM). Use the command to save the host key pair to flash

•Some SSH client programs automatically add the public key to the known hosts file as part of the configuration process. Otherwise, you must manually create a known hosts file and place the host public key in it.

•The SSH server uses this host key to negotiate a session key and encryption method with the client trying to connect to it.
