Jan 31, 2017  Symptom: When trying to generate a RSA key of 1096 bits, the ASR 1k ESP crashes. Conditions: This issue occurs when you generate the RSA key of 1096 bits. The ESP crashes and eventually recovers. The problem occurs even if you use an empty configuration. Oct 15, 2014  The ASA will retain all keys over a reboot as long as a 'write mem' is done after the keys are created. This applies to the 'RSA-Key' that is created by 'crypto key generate rsa' and the 'RSA-Key.server' key that is created upon the first ssh connection to the ASA. I am currently trying to configure SSH access to an ASR1004 Router. When running the following commands to generate my keys: Router(config)#crypto key generate rsa I am getting the following output: How many bits in the modulus 512: 1024% Generating 1024 bit RSA keys, keys will be non-exporta. So it looks as if there is no point in the 'crypto key generate rsa' command if i follow it up with the 'crypto key generate rsa usage-keys label sshkeys mod 1024' command, i just wanted to make sure the first wasn't need for the second to work or something screwy like that.

How to create self-signed certificates An article by Fabio Semperboni Tutorial A digital certificate or identity certificate is an electronic document which uses a digital signature to bind a public key with an identity, information such as the name of a person or an organization, their address, and so forth.

Problem

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;

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

/microsoft-office-2013-product-key-generator-free-download.html. 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!

Tools > Command Line Interface > Multiple Line

Send > Wait a couple of minutes and try again.

REMEMBER: I’m assuming you have SSH setup correctly if not, see the following article;
