◆ User Key Type – The type of public key to upload.
■
RSA: The switch accepts a RSA version 1 encrypted public key.
■
DSA: The switch accepts a DSA version 2 encrypted public key.
The SSH server uses RSA or DSA for key exchange when the client first
establishes a connection with the switch, and then negotiates with the client to
select either DES (56-bit) or 3DES (168-bit) for data encryption.
The switch uses only RSA Version 1 for SSHv1.5 clients and DSA Version 2 for
SSHv2 clients.
◆ TFTP Server IP Address – The IP address of the TFTP server that contains the
public key file you wish to import.
◆ Source File Name – The public key file to upload.
