5. Type 1 to select Key ID.
The following prompt is displayed:
Enter Key Id -> [0 to 65535] -> 0
6. Enter an identification number for the key. This number can be from
0 to 65,535. This number is used only for identification purposes and
not in generating the actual encryption key. The ID for each key on
the switch must be unique.
Note
You cannot change the value for option 2 - Key Type. This value is
always RSA - Private.
7. Type 3 to select Key Length.
The following message is displayed:
Enter Key Length ->[512 to 1536] -> 512
8. Enter a key length. The range is 512 to 1,536 bits, in increments of 256
bits (for example, 512, 768, 1024, etc). Before selecting a key length,
note the following
❑ For an encryption key for SSL and web browser encryption, key
length can be any valid value within the range.
❑ For SSH host and server key pairs, the two keys must be created
separately and be of different lengths of at least one increment
(256 bits) apart. The recommended length for the server key is 768
bits and the recommended length for the host key is 1024 bits.
