rsa Creates an RSA userkey for SSH version 2
connections.
<768-32768> The length, in bits, of the generated key. The default
is 1,024 bits.
Description
Use the CRYPTO KEY GENERATE USERKEY command to generate
public and private keys for an SSH user using the RSA cryptography
algorithm. To use public key authentication, copy the public key of the user
onto the remote SSH server.
Caution
This command is not saved in the software configuration. However,
the device saves the keys generated by this command in the non-
volatile memory.
