IMPORTANT:
By default, Ethernet interfaces, VLAN interfaces, and aggregate interfaces are in DOWN state. To
configure such an interface, first use the undo shutdown command to bring the interface up.

configure the public key of Switch A on Switch B.
Configure Switch B to use the asymmetric key algorithm of RSA.

The range of public key size is (512 ~ 2048).
NOTES: If the key modulus is greater than 512,
It will take a few minutes.
