group

To configure a Modular Exponentiation (MODP) Diffie-Hellman (DH) group for an IKE protocol policy, use the group command in IKE policy configuration submode. To revert to the default, use the no form of the command.

group { 1 | 2 | 5 }

no group

 
Syntax Description

1

Specifies 768-bit MODP DH group.

2

Specifies 1024-bit MODP DH group.

5

Specifies 1536-bit MODP DH group.

 
Defaults

1.

 
Command Modes

IKE policy configuration submode.

 
Command History

Release
Modification

2.0(x)

This command was introduced.

 
Usage Guidelines

To use this command, the IKE protocol must be enabled using the crypto ike enable command.

Examples

The following example shows how to configure the DH group for the IKE protocol:

switch# config terminal
switch(config)# crypto ike domain ipsec
switch(config-ike-ipsec)# policy 1
switch(config-ike-ipsec-policy)# group 1

Command
Description

crypto ike domain ipsec

Enters IKE configuration mode.

crypto ike enable

Enables the IKE protocol.

policy

Configures IKE policy parameters.

show crypto ike domain ipsec

Displays IKE information for the IPsec domain.

gzip

To compress (zip) a specified file using LZ77 coding, use the gzip command in EXEC mode.

gzip { bootflash: | slot0: | volatile: } filename

 
Syntax Description

bootflash:

Source location for the file to be compressed and destination of the compressed file.

slot0:

Source location for the file to be compressed and destination of the compressed file.

volatile:

Source location for the file to be compressed and destination of the compressed file. This is the default directory.

filename

The name of the file to be compressed.

 
Defaults

None.

 
Command Modes

EXEC mode.

 
Command History

Release
Modification

1.1(1)

This command was introduced.

 
Usage Guidelines

This command is useful in compressing large files. The output of the show tech-support command can directed to a file and compressed for further use. The gzip command replaces the source file with a compressed.gz file.

Examples

This example directs the output of the show tech-support command to a file (Samplefile) and then zips the file and displays the difference in the space used up in the volatile: directory:

switch# show tech-support > Samplefile
Building Configuration...
switch# dir
1525859 Jul 04 00:51:03 2003 Samplefile
Usage for volatile://
1527808 bytes used
19443712 bytes free
20971520 bytes total
switch# gzip volatile:Samplefile
switch# dir
266069 Jul 04 00:51:03 2003 Samplefile.gz
Usage for volatile://
266240 bytes used
20705280 bytes free
20971520 bytes total
