SSH Hostname & Domain-Name Purpose?

[Ali Hazim]

Why Is It Required To Set a Hostname & a Domain-Name When Configuring SSH?, I Know Both Of Them Are Used To Generate The Key-Name But What Is The Use Of That Generated Key-Name?

[Jaderson Pessoa]

to be a party of a domain search. To generate a key for ssh or ssl connection.

Hello

You don't have to , You can generate crypto key without the need for a domain name.

example:

conf t

no ip domain name

crypto key generate rsa label STAN general-keys modulus xxxx
