Step
2. Create local key pairs.

Distributing a local host public key

You must distribute a local host public key to a peer device so the peer device can use the public key to
encrypt information sent to the local device or authenticate the digital signature signed by the local
device.
To distribute a local host public key:
1. Record the key or export the key to a file.
2. Transfer the key, for example, by using FTP or TFTP.
This section covers only the first task.
The following are the methods available for recording or exporting a local host public key:

•
keys from a file on the peer device.)

Displaying a host public key in a specific format and saving it to a file

•
import public keys from a file on the peer device.)
• Displaying a host public key

Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Export a local host public key
in a specific format to a file.
Displaying a host public key in a specific format and saving it
to a file
After you display a host public key in a specific format, save the key to a file and transfer the file to the
peer device.
To display a local host public key in a specific format:
Command
public-key local create { dsa |
ecdsa | rsa } [ name key-name ]
(Use this method if you must manually enter the key on the peer device.)
Command
system-view
•
Export an RSA host public key:
In non-FIPS mode:
public-key local export rsa [ name key-name ] { openssh | ssh1 |
ssh2 } filename
In FIPS mode:
public-key local export rsa [ name key-name ] { openssh | ssh2 }
filename
•
Export a DSA host public key:
public-key local export dsa [ name key-name ] { openssh | ssh2 }
filename

Remarks
By default, no local key pair exists.
