Question 1
An engineer attempts to create SSH RSA keys on a freshly initialized IOS device, but key generation cannot proceed because the device identity information is incomplete. Which option should the engineer use or identify? Choose ONE.
- login local on VTY lines
- Hostname and IP domain name before RSA key generation
- VTY lines
- SCP over SSH
Correct Answer: B
Correct Answer
Answer B is correct because Hostname and IP domain name before RSA key generation provides the missing identity prerequisites before RSA key generation. In a Hostname and IP use case, it is appropriate when Use these identity settings as prerequisites in the standard SSH server setup workflow. The observed behavior aligns with that role.
Incorrect Answers
Answer A is incorrect because login local on concerns this behavior: The login local command tells VTY lines. The operations evidence favors Hostname and IP; login local on operates at another control point. The Hostname and IP result depends on another mechanism, not the login local on behavior described above.
Answer C is incorrect because VTY lines concerns this behavior: Virtual terminal lines are the logical lines. The required Hostname and IP outcome differs from the VTY lines purpose in this operations case. For Hostname and IP, choosing VTY lines would change the control point in this operations case.
Answer D is incorrect because SCP over SSH concerns this behavior: SCP uses SSH as its secure transport. Using SCP over SSH would not produce the Hostname and IP behavior shown by this operations evidence. The SCP over SSH function therefore differs materially from the Hostname and IP outcome required here.
