Command Syntax
username USERNAME keypair rsa
username USERNAME keypair dsa

Parameters
USERNAME
User identifier
rsa
Rivest, Shamir, and Adelman (RSA) public-key cryptography SSH server key
dsa
Digital System Algorithm (DSA) SSH key
<1024-4096>
Number of bits to use when creating the SSH server key; this parameter is only valid for RSA keys (DSA keys have a default length of 1024)
force
Forces the replacement of an SSH key
Default
DSA keys have a default value of 1024.
RSA keys have a minimum key length of 768 bits and the default length is 2048.
By default the system has RSA/DSA public/private key pair placed in /etc/ssh/. The force option is used if the user wants to regenerate the ssh rsa keys. The same thing applies for dsa also.
