show crypto key mypubkey rsa

Also, I have found you can change the hostname if you specify the new 
keypair-name using:

ip ssh rsa keypair-name <keypair-name>

Just be sure to do this after changing the hostname or domain suffix but BEFORE 
you disconnect. Otherwise new SSH connections will be broken. Test it of course 
prior to disconnecting your working session. :) The new keypair-name can be 
seen using the show crypto key mypubkey rsa command, but should be the FQDN  of 
the device.

I don't know if that process is officially supported or works in all 
circumstances, but I've stumbled across it has worked for me when renaming 
devices running SSH. Perhaps it will help you out. Your IOS must also support 
specifying the ssh rsa keypair-name as well. Not all of them do. SXI should 
from what I see.

Subject: Re: [c-nsp] ssh Crypto key broke ??

I just added VRF interface SVI and still have old non-vrf SVI.

If there is a phantom key, that may have been introduced (name unknown), is 
there a way to see them in some kind of dump?
