Destroying A Local Asymmetric Key Pair; Specifying The Peer Public Key On The Local Device - HP 5500 HI Series Configuration Manual

Exporting the host public key in a specific format to a file
After you export and save the host public key in a specify format to a file, transfer the file to the peer
device.
To export and save the local host public key to a file:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Export a local RSA or DSA
host public key in a specific
format to a file.

Destroying a local asymmetric key pair

You may need to destroy a local asymmetric key pair and generate a new pair when an intrusion event
has occurred, the storage media of the device is replaced, the asymmetric key has been used for a long
time, or the local certificate expires. For more information about the local certificate, see
PKI."
To destroy a local asymmetric key pair:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Destroy a local asymmetric key pair.

Specifying the peer public key on the local device

In some applications, such as SSH, to enable the local device to authenticate a peer device, specify the
peer public key on the local device. The device supports up to 20 peer public keys.
For information about displaying or exporting the host public key, see
host public key."
Take one of the following methods to specify the peer public key on the local device:
Command
system-view
•
To export a local RSA host public key:
In non-FIPS mode:
public-key local export rsa { openssh
| ssh1 | ssh2 } filename
In FIPS mode:
public-key local export rsa { openssh
| ssh2 } filename
•
To export a local DSA host public key:
public-key local export dsa { openssh |
ssh2 } filename
Command
system-view
public-key local destroy { dsa | rsa }
