ip ssh crypto host-key generate

Use this command to generate the host key pair (i.e., public and private).

Command Usage
• This command stores the host key pair in memory (i.e., RAM). Use the ip
ssh save host-key command to save the host key pair to flash memory.
• Some SSH client programs automatically add the public key to the known
hosts file as part of the configuration process. Otherwise, you must manually
create a known hosts file and place the host public key in it.
• The SSH server uses this host key to negotiate a session key and encryption
method with the client trying to connect to it.
Example
Console#ip ssh crypto host-key generate dsa
Console#

ip ssh crypto zeroize

Use this command to clear the host key from memory (i.e. RAM).
Syntax
ip ssh crypto zeroize [dsa | rsa]
• dsa – DSA key type.
• rsa – RSA key type.
