This command will allow you to configure the SSH authentication
mode for users attempting to access the Switch.
password – This parameter may be chosen if the administrator
wishes to use a locally configured password for authentication on
the Switch.
publickey - This parameter may be chosen if the administrator
wishes to use a publickey configuration set on a SSH server, for
authentication.

intended for Linux users requiring SSH authentication techniques
and the host computer is running the Linux operating system with a
SSH program previously installed.
