Generate the Key Pair
About this task
Use the following procedure to generate the private and public key pair for the specific cryptography type. By default, VOSS generates a 2,048 RSA key when the system starts. You can use this procedure to generate a new key.
Procedure
Example
Generating the key pair:
Switch:1>enable Switch:1#configure terminal Switch:1(config)#certificate generate-keypair type rsa size 2048
Variable Definition
The following table defines parameters for the generate-keypair command.
Variable |
Value |
---|---|
type rsa |
Specifies type of cryptography algorithm used to generate the key-pair. The switch uses only rsa as the cryptography algorithm type. |
size 2048 |
Specifies the size or modulus of key-pair to be generated. The value should be 2048. |
