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:

Export an RSA host public key:
In non-FIPS mode:
public-key local export rsa [ name key-name ] { openssh | ssh1 |
