A network administrator is preparing to configure SSH on a new Cisco router. Which two parameters must be configured on the router before the crypto key generate rsa command can be successfully executed?
Before generating RSA keys using the crypto key generate rsa command on a Cisco IOS device, a unique hostname and an IP domain name must be configured. The device combines these two values to create a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) which is used as the default label for the RSA key pair. Without these configured, the key generation process will fail and prompt the administrator to set them. A user account and VTY line configuration are also required for SSH access, but they are not prerequisites for generating the RSA keys themselves.
