Problem
- How to configure SSH on Cisco IOS. #crypto key generate rsa The name for the keys will be: R1.NETWORKLESSONS.LOCAL Choose the size of the key modulus in the range of 360 to 4096 for your General Purpose Keys. Choosing a key modulus greater than 512 may take a few minutes. It’s best to check the next generation encryption article from.
- My question is will generating a crypto key using 'crypto key generate rsa mod 2048' using the cli option in asdm break anything as currently there is no crypto key. The ASAs do have VPNs configured. Because it is a live environment, I just want to ensure it will be as simple as running the command and getting ssh access to the firewalls.
I’ve lost count of the number of times this has happened to me! Most of my colleagues prefer to use the ASDM for remote management, but if (like me) you work at command line, then sometimes people <ahem> forget to generate the RSA keypair when deploying a firewall. Then even if SSH access and AAA is setup correctly, you still can’t get in via SSH. Instead you see the following;
The private key has to be protectedmake sure it doesn’t leave your computer. In this lesson, we will generate a public and private key on a Windows and Linux computer. We will then add the public key to a Cisco IOS router and use it for SSH authentication. Apr 01, 2020 To create crypto keys automatically when k9sec rpm is installed, create harddiskb:/cryptoautokeygen.txt. In this text file, provide the crypto key CLI to be executed post migration. In this text file, provide the crypto key CLI to be executed post migration.
RoyalTS and RoyalTSX: ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host.
PuTTY: PuTTY Fatal Error: Server unexpectedly closed network connection.
SecureCRT: Connection closed.
OSX/Linux: ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host.
Now at command line you can fix this with a ‘Crypto Key Generate RSA Modulus 2048‘ command, but you can’t get to command line only ASDM.
Solution
On older versions of the ASDM you could generate the keypair in the Identification Certificates section (well you still can but only if you are also generating a certificate request file). So, as we are command line warriors, lets use the ASDM’s command line!
