rsa-key

Device Config Commands

Assigns an SSH RSA key

SSH keys are a pair of cryptographic keys used to authenticate users instead of, or in addition to, a username/password. One key is private and the other is public key. Secure Shell (SSH) public key authentication can be used by a requesting client to access resources, if properly configured. The RSA key pair must be generated on the client. The public portion of the key pair resides with the controller, service platform, or access point locally, while the private portion remains on a secure area of the client.

Supported on the following devices:

Syntax

rsa-key ssh <RSA-KEY-NAME>

Parameters

rsa-key ssh <RSA-KEY-NAME>
rsa-key ssh <RSA-KEY-NAME> Assigns RSA key to SSH
  • <RSA-KEY-NAME> – Specifies the RSA key name. The key should be installed using PKI commands in the enable mode.
