Pushing an SSH Client Public Key to an External Server

You must push the SSH client public key to an external server to support SSH/SFTP access to that server.
Step 1
From the Exec mode run the push ssh-key command.
host_name
[local]
host_name
[local]
host_name specifies the remote server using its logical host name which must be resolved via DNS lookup. It is expressed
as an alphanumeric string of 1 to 127 characters.
host_ip_address is expressed in IPv4 dotted-decimal or IPv6 colon-separated-hexadecimal notation.
user username specifies a valid username on the external server as an alphanumeric string of 1 to 79 characters.
context context_name specifies a valid context name. The context name is optional. If it is not provided the current
