Cat 9300 Crypto generate or not?

 Evening all,

 So I get a brand new Cat 9300. Configure as an existing one with new IPs and such. Upon hooking it to a Cat 9500 via Cat6.

 From the 9500 I see the IP I assigned in a show ip arp, the show mac shows the mac off the right port and I can ping it from the core. Ports on both sides are up/up but I can't use the management IP to ssh into the new switch. "line vty" is built out the same as a working switch.

 

 Now one thing that initially came to mind is the fact I'm going switch to switch with a straight through Ethernet cable and it should be a crossover.

 But my boss says that's not it I have to generate a crypto key.

 So him being the boss I go to generate a crypto key

 crypto key generate rsa label mylabel modulus 4096 general-use storage ?????

 I've tried nvram: flash:, even put a USB thumb drive in there and made sure the switch could read the dir, but every time it tells me that's not a suitable RSA location?!?

 Any thoughts?

 Well it was the crypto key.

 

 switch(config)#crypto key generate rsa modulus 4096 label mine

 

did not ask for a storage space, just generated the key
