Configuration procedure
1. Configure the SSH server:
# Generate the RSA key pairs.
<Switch> system-view
[Switch] public-key local create 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.
Press CTRL+C to abort.
Input the bits of the modulus[default = 1024]:
