Security Fundamentals

Which configuration is required to generate an RSA key for SSH on a router?

  • A Configure VTY access.
  • B Configure the version of SSH.
  • C Assign a DNS domain name.
  • D Create a user with a password.
Explanation

On Cisco routers, RSA key generation for SSH depends on the device having a configured domain name, because the key pair is associated with the router’s hostname and domain name. Settings such as VTY access, SSH version, and local username/password are used for SSH operation and access control, but they are not the prerequisite that enables crypto key generate rsa to create the key.
