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.
