In configuring a Cisco router to prepare for IPS and VPN features, a network administrator opens the file realm-cisco.pub.key.txt, and copies and pastes the contents to the router at the global configuration prompt. What is the result after this configuration step?

• The router is authenticated with the Cisco secure IPS resource web server.
• A pair of public/secret keys is created for IPsec VPN operation.
• A crypto key is created for IOS IPS to verify the master signature file.
• A pair of public/secret keys is created for the router to serve as an SSH server.

Explanation: The third step in implementing IOS IPS is to configure the Cisco IOS IPS public key that is located in the realm-cisco.pub.key.txt file. This public key is used to verify digital signature for the master signature file, and can be downloaded from cisco.com. To configure the IOS IPS crypto key, open the text file, and copy and paste the contents to the router at the global configuration prompt. Public/private key pairs for IPsec VPN and SSH server are generated using different methods.
