Global Configuration mode

User Guidelines

DSA keys are generated in pairs: one public DSA key and one private DSA

key. If your switch already has DSA keys when you issue this command, you

are warned and prompted to replace the existing keys. The keys are not saved

in the switch configuration; they are saved in the file system and the private

key is never displayed to the user. DSA keys, along with other switch

credentials, are distributed to all units in a stack on a configuration save.

Example

The following example generates DSA key pairs.

console(config)#crypto key generate dsa

crypto key generate rsa

Use the crypto key generate rsa command in Global Configuration mode to

generate RSA key pairs. Use the no form of the command to delete the key

from the local file system.
