Did you write erase the PIX, change the domain name or the host name? Anyway, your going to need to zeroize the RSA and recreate it if you need it. The command is...</P><P></P><P>ca zeroize rsa</P><P></P><P>This command will not hurt the PIX but I'm not clear on what the RSA key was used for.</P><P></P><P>Hope that helps.</P><P></P><P></P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 20 May 2004 17:10:05 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/pix-message/m-p/271068#M592580 mike-greene 2004-05-20T17:10:05Z Re: pix message https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/pix-message/m-p/271069#M592581 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Previous post is correct. More of a cosmetic issue unless you wanted to use SSH to connect to your PIX. To resolve this, please use the following steps:</P><P></P><P>1 - ca zeroize rsa </P><P>2 - ca gen rsa key 1024 </P><P>3 - ca save all </P><P>4 - write mem</P><P>5 - reload firewall</P><P></P><P>Hope this helps.</P><P></P><P>Scott</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 20 May 2004 20:31:16 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/pix-message/m-p/271069#M592581 scoclayton 2004-05-20T20:31:16Z Re: pix message https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/pix-message/m-p/271070#M592582 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>thank you</P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 21 May 2004 08:59:49 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/pix-message/m-p/271070#M592582 fcatalao 2004-05-21T08:59:49Z
