The default is $home/.ssh/id_rsa for the private key and $home/.ssh/id_rsa.pub for the public. If you are not wanting to overwrite the previously generated key files then either specify a different filename in the key creation step, or go into $home/.ssh and rename the files already there if you want the default files to contain the new keys. Depends how your system is set up really.
