Generating an RSA Key Pair

This task generates an RSA key pair.
RSA key pairs are used to sign and encrypt IKE key management messages and are required before you
can obtain a certificate for your router.

crypto key generate rsa [usage keys | general-keys] [keypair-label]
crypto key zeroize rsa [keypair-label]
show crypto key mypubkey rsa
Purpose
Configures the IP domain name of the router.
Saves configuration changes.
When you issue the end command, the system prompts
•
you to commit changes:
Uncommitted changes found, commit them before
exiting(yes/no/cancel)?
[cancel]:
Entering yes saves configuration changes to the
–
running configuration file, exits the configuration
session, and returns the router to EXEC mode.
Entering no exits the configuration session and
–
returns the router to EXEC mode without
committing the configuration changes.
Entering cancel leaves the router in the current
–
configuration session without exiting or
committing the configuration changes.
Use the commit command to save the configuration
•
changes to the running configuration file and remain
within the configuration session.
