default in its place.

encrypted crypto key import {dsa | rsa}
no crypto key {
dsa | rsa }

User Guidelines
DSA/RSA keys are imported in pairs - one public DSA/RSA key and one private
DSA/RSA key.
If the device already has DSA/RSA keys, a warning is displayed with a prompt to
replace the existing keys with new keys.
This command is saved in the Running Configuration file.
When using the encrypted key-word, the private key is imported in its encrypted
form.
Example
switchxxxxxx(config)# encrypted crypto key import rsa
---- BEGIN SSH2 ENCRYPTED PRIVATE KEY ----
switchxxxxxx(config)# encrypted crypto key import rsa
---- BEGIN SSH2 ENCRYPTED PRIVATE KEY ----
