Before performing the following steps, you must generate an RSA public key pair
(using the client software) on the client, save the key pair in a file named public,
and then upload the file to the SSH server through FTP or TFTP. For details, refer to
"Configuring the SSH Client" on page 396.
# Import the client's public key named "Switch001" from file "public".
[4210] public-key peer Switch001 import sshkey public
# Assign the public key "Switch001" to client "client001".
[4210] ssh user client001 assign publickey Switch001
