firewallrouterSecurityssh

What is the purpose of a domain name to create SSH keys?

Before enabling SSH on firewall/router, we need to create domain name.

Why is it necessary to do that? What does a domain name do and how is it related to SSH? What role does it play in enabling SSH?

It isn't necessary to create a domain name to create SSH keys. The below syntax will allow you to generate RSA keys for SSH use without one.

router(config)#crypto key generate rsa general-keys label RSAKEY
