SSH Commands

crypto key generate dsa

Use the crypto key generate dsa command in Global Configuration mode to generate DSA key
pairs for your switch. A key pair is one public DSA key and one private DSA key.

Syntax

crypto key generate dsa

Default Configuration

DSA key pairs do not exist.

Command Mode

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
