Use this command to generate RSA key pairs for your Cisco device (such as a router). keys are generated in pairs–one public RSA key and one private RSA key.

If your router already has RSA keys when you issue this command, you will be warned and prompted to replace the existing keys with new keys.

• Crypto key generate rsa general-keys modulus 2048. But I'm still seeing a 1024 key, anyone know why this is? Version 2.0 Authentication timeout: 120 secs; Authentication retries: 3. Minimum expected Diffie Hellman key size: 1024 bits. IOS Keys in SECSH format(ssh-rsa, base64 encoded). About to test the fiber with Cisco switches to make.
• What exactly does 'crypto key generate rsa' do? When setting up SSH you have to create the rsa key, what does it actually do? Such that P.Q results in a number that matches the desired RSA Key size (512 bits, 1024 bits, 2048 bits, etc) Calculate P.Q. Cisco CCNA 200-301.

NOTE: Before issuing this command, ensure that your router has a hostname and IP domain name configured (with the hostname and ipdomain-name commands).

Crypto Key Generate Rsa Modulus 1024

You will be unable to complete the cryptokeygeneratersacommand without a hostname and IP domain name. (This situation is not true when you generate only a named key pair.)

Here are the steps to Enable SSH and Crypto Key setup : 2 config must requried for SSH

How to configure SSH on Cisco IOS. #crypto key generate rsa The name for the keys will be: R1.NETWORKLESSONS.LOCAL Choose the size of the key modulus in the range. I did a little research and found out that if I removed the rsa key by using this command ' crypto key zeroize rsa' and then added the 'crypto key generate rsa generate-keys modulus 1024, then that would work. Any thoughts? No service pad. No service password-encryption. Hostname Sales-SW-ACC2. Ip domain name my.company.come. How to configure SSH on Cisco IOS. #crypto key generate rsa The name for the keys will be: R1.NETWORKLESSONS.LOCAL Choose the size of the key modulus in the range of 360 to 4096 for your General Purpose Keys. Choosing a key modulus greater than 512 may take a few minutes.

1 Setup Local VTY line User ID and password

Crypto Key Generate Modulus 1024 Cisco Switch Key

router (Config) # Line VTY 0 15

Generate new openssh key ubuntu. router (Config-line)# login local

router (Config-line)# Exit

!!! create local login ID/Pass

Crypto Key Generate Rsa Modulus 2048 Cisco

router (Config)# username [loginid] password [cisco]

router (Config)# username loginid1 password cisco1

2. router (Config)# ip domain-name example.com

router (Config)# crypto key generate rsa

how many bits in the modulus [512] :1024

router (Config)# ip ssh version2

router (Config)# CTRL Z

This command is not saved in the router configuration; however, the RSA keys generated by this command are saved in the private configuration in NVRAM (which is never displayed to the user or backed up to another device) the next time the configuration is written to NVRAM.

Modulus Length

When you generate RSA keys, you will be prompted to enter a modulus length. The longer the modulus, the stronger the security. However, a longer modules take longer to generate (see the table below for sample times) and takes longer to use.

The size of Key Modulus range from 360 to 2048. Choosing modulus greater than 512 will take longer time.

Cisco IOS software does not support a modulus greater than 4096 bits. A length of less than 512 bits is normally not recommended. In certain situations, the shorter modulus may not function properly with IKE, so we recommend using a minimum modulus of 2048 bits.
