V. Configuring client public keys
You can configure RSA public keys for client users on the switch and specify RSA
private keys, which correspond to the public keys, on the client. Then client keys are
generated randomly by the SSHv2.0 client software. This operation is not required for
password authentication type.
 Note:
This configuration is applicable for SSH users using RSA authentication. If the device
uses password authentication for SSH users, this configuration can be ignored.
You can set public keys for client users at the server end. There are two methods to set
client public key:
1) Assign public keys to SSH users one by one
Operations at client end:
z Use SSH1.5/2.0 client software to generate random RSA key pair.
z Run SSHKEY.EXE file and convert the public key in the RSA key pair to PKCS
code.
Operations at server end:
