As shown in
B acts as the Stelnet server and uses publickey authentication and the DSA public key algorithm.

Configuration procedure
In the server configuration, the client public key is required. Use the client software to generate a DSA key
pair on the client before configuring the Stelnet server.
Configure the Stelnet client:
1.
# Create VLAN-interface 2 and assign an IP address to it.
<SwitchA> system-view
[SwitchA] interface vlan-interface 2
[SwitchA-Vlan-interface2] ip address 192.168.1.56 255.255.255.0
[SwitchA-Vlan-interface2] quit
# Generate a DSA key pair.
[SwitchA] public-key local create dsa
The range of public key size is (512 ~ 2048).
NOTES: If the key modulus is greater than 512,
It will take a few minutes.
Press CTRL+C to abort.
Input the bits of the modulus[default = 1024]:
