configure terminal
2. Enable SSH server.
3. Create the DSA user key file:
ssh dsa-user-key [WORD<1–15>][size <512–1024>]
4. Enter the encryption password to protect the key file.
5. Copy the user public key file to the remote SSH servers.
6. If you are generating the compatible keys on the Linux system, use the following steps:
a. Create the DSA user key file:
ssh-keygen –t dsa
b. Copy the user public key to the remote SSH servers.
Note:
The DSA pair key files can be generated on the Linux system and used by the SSH
client of the VSP switch.
Example
Create the DSA user key file with the user access level set to read-write-all and size of the DSA
user key set to 512 bits:
Switch:1>enable
Switch:1#configure terminal
Switch:1(config)#ssh dsa-user-key rwa size 512
Variable definitions
Use the following table to use the ssh dsa-user-key command.
Variable Value
WORD<1–15 > Specifies the user access level. The valid user
access levels for the switch are:
• rwa—Specifies read-write-all.
• rw—Specifies read-write.
• ro—Specifies read-only
• rwl3—Specifies read-write for Layer 3.
• rwl2—Specifies rread-write for Layer 2.
• rwl1—Specifies read-write for Layer 1.
size <512–1024> Specifies the size of the DSA user key. The default is
