Importing
User Public Keys
Use the Security > SSH (Configure User Key - Copy) page to upload a user’s public
key to the switch. This public key must be stored on the switch for the user to be
able to log in using the public key authentication mechanism. If the user’s public
key does not exist on the switch, SSH will revert to the interactive password
authentication mechanism to complete authentication.
