Note
Creating a key is a very CPU intensive process for the switch. The
switch does not stop forwarding network packets, but it may delay
handling some network events, such as spanning tree BPDU
packets. To avoid unexpected or unwanted switch behavior, create
a key during periods of low network activity.
Examples
This example creates a DSA key:
awplus> enable
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# crypto key generate hostkey dsa
This example creates an RSA key with a length of 1280 bits:
awplus> enable
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# crypto key generate hostkey rsa 1280
This example creates an RSA1 key:
awplus> enable
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# crypto key generate hostkey rsa1
