 Note:
This operation is only available for the SSH users using RSA authentication. At the
switch, you configure the RSA public key of the client, while at the client, you specify the
RSA private key which corresponds to the RSA public key.
This operation will fail if you configure password authentication for the SSH user.
Please perform the following configurations in system view.
Table 8-7 Configuring public key
Operation Command
Enter public key view rsa peer-public-key key-name
Delete a designated public key undo rsa peer-public-key key-name
When entering the public key edit view with the rsa peer-public-key command, you
can begin editing the public key with the public-key-code begin command. You can
key in blank space between characters, since the system can remove the blank space
automatically. But the public key should be composed of hexadecimal characters.
Terminate public key editing and save the result with the public-key-code end
command. Validity check comes before saving: the public key editing fails if the key
contains invalid characters.
Please perform the following configurations in the public key view.
