CREATE ENCO KEY
Syntax 1
create enco key= key-id type=rsa length= value
[description=" description "]
Syntax 2
create enco key= key-id type=rsa [description=" description "]
[file= filename .key] [format=hex|ssh|ssh2]
Parameters
key Specifies a key ID. The range is 0 to 65,535. The
default is 0. When creating a new key this value must
be unique from all other key IDs on the switch.
type Specifies the type of key, which can only be a random
RSA key.
length Specifies the length of the key in bits. The range is
512 to 1536 bits, in increments of 256 bits (for
example, 512, 768, 1024, etc). The default is 512 bits.
This parameter is only used when creating a new
encryption key pair.
description Specifies a description for the encryption key. The
description can be up to 40 alphanumeric characters.
Spaces are allowed. The description must be
enclosed in quotes. This parameter, which is optional,
is used when creating a new key pair and when
importing a public key from the AT-S63 file system to
the key database. This parameter should not be used
when exporting a public key to the file system.
file Specifies a filename for the key. The filename must
include the “.key” extension. This parameter is used
when you are importing or exporting a public key from
the key database. This parameter is not used when
creating a new encryption key pair.
format Specifies the format when importing or exporting a
public encryption key. The options are:
hex Specifies a hexadecimal format used
to transfer a key between devices
other than switches. This is the
default.
