To do...
Enter system view
Destroy the local RSA key pair
Destroy the local DSA key pair
This configuration task is only necessary for SSH users using publickey
authentication.
For an SSH user that uses publickey authentication to login, the server must be
configured with the client RSA or DSA host public key in advance, and the
corresponding private key for the client must be specified on the client.
You can manually configure or import the publickey public key from a public key
file. In the former case, you can manually copy the client's public key configuration
to the server. In the latter case, the system automatically converts the public key to
a string coded using the PKCS standard. Before importing the public key, you must
upload the public key file (in binary) to the server through FTP or TFTP.
CAUTION:
When the device functions as the SSH server, you cannot use Secure CRT 4.07
■
to upload the client public key to the server.
You can configure at most 20 client pubic keys on an SSH server.
