Syntax
request security pki generate-key-pair certificate-id certificate-id-name<size (256 | 384 | 512 | 1024 | 2048 | 4096)><type (dsa | ecdsa | rsa)>
Release Information
Command introduced in Junos OS Release 11.1. Options to support Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) added in Junos OS Release 12.1X45-D10.
Description
Generate a public key infrastructure (PKI) public/private key pair for a local digital certificate.
Options
certificate-id certificate-id-name | — | Name of the local digital certificate and the public/private key pair. |
size | — | Key pair size. The key pair size can be 256, 384, 512, 1024, 2048, or 4096 bits. Key pair sizes of 256 and 384 bits are compatible with ECDSA. If a key pair size is not specified, the default value, 1024 bits, is applied. |
type | — | The algorithm to be used for encrypting the public/private key pair:
