Network Requirements; Configuration Procedure - HP MSR Series Configuration Manual

•
When the device acts as a NETCONF-over-SSH server, only RSA key pairs are supported. Do
not generate a DSA key pair on the NETCONF-over-SSH server.

Network requirements

As shown in
•
The router uses local password authentication.
•
The client's username and password are saved on the router.
Establish a NETCONF-over-SSH connection between the host and the router, so that you can log in
to the router to perform NETCONF operations.

[Router] public-key local create rsa
The range of public key size is (512 ~ 2048).
If the key modulus is greater than 512, it will take a few minutes.
Press CTRL+C to abort.
Input the modulus length [default = 1024]:
