crypto key

Hi



Im fooling around around on my 3550'er and is experimenting with ssh. Transport input ssh -and "login local" (and then configure username and pass) i get that, but i simply do not get the point of the configured "ip domain name" and the crypto key? What is the use of this? I am connecting from my terminal program, stating only my username and pass, not mentioning anything to the ssh-enabled switch about any key or domain name..



Whats the use (of the domain name and cryptokey)?

It has to do with encryption using public/private keys, a domain name is a requirement in the process of generating those keys.
