One solved question, so you can see how these are marked

A Cisco IOS switch already has a nondefault hostname. Which remaining identity command is required by the traditional hostname-and-domain RSA key-generation workflow for SSH?

ip domain name <name>

The traditional IOS SSH setup uses a configured hostname and ip domain name before generating RSA keys. Keys, authentication, and VTY transport restrictions are separate requirements. Some newer platforms also support labeled-key workflows, so the premise deliberately names the traditional method.

Every question in the set below is marked like this. The answers stay hidden until you pick one.
