To configure a Cisco router to initiate secure connections to other devices in the network, it is essential to first configure a domain name and generate a cryptographic key. Configuring a domain name enables DNS services and assists in the SSH key generation process. Generating a cryptographic key is crucial as it is used for the encryption in SSH. These steps ensure that the necessary cryptographic protocols are in place to initiate secure connections.
B,C need these commands to configure ssh.
#hostname #ip domain-name #crypto key generate rsa
Ref: Configuring Secure Shell on Routers and Switches Running Cisco IOS – Cisco “… Set Up an IOS Router or Switch as SSH Client There are four steps required to enable SSH support on a Cisco IOS router: 1. Configure the hostname command. 2. Configure the DNS domain. 3. Generate the SSH key to be used. 4. Enable SSH transport support for the virtual type terminal (vtys). …” A. Configure transport input ssh command on the console. Wrong answer. B. Configure a domain name. Correct answer. C. Configure a crypto key to be generated. Correct answer. D. Configure a source port for the SSH connection to initiate. Wrong answer. E. Configure a TACACS+ server and enable it. Wrong answer.
BC are correct. A. makes no sense since the console isnt able to be accessed via ssh or telnet. D. isnt it because source ports are autogenerated and dont need to be explicitly configured. E. Unless the user needs authorization, this answer makes no sense.
This question is utterly stupid as it seems to indicate the Cisco router only acts as a SSH client. An SSH client does not require ANY configuration. Again, B+C seems correct if you look at the options, but the question itself seems a bit strange.
The given answer is correct
I'm with Pietjeplukgeluk. The question seems to be indicating that the router is not able to make a SSH connection OUT. A-D could be the reason.
B & C are correct
