Usage guidelines
Whether the command exports or displays the local DSA host public key depends on the presence of the
filename argument.
You can use the command to display or export the local DSA host public key before distributing it to a
peer device.
1. Save the local host public key to a file with one of the following methods:
Use the public-key local export dsa [ name key-name ] { openssh | ssh2 } command to display
the local host public key in the specific format, copy and paste it to a file.
Use the public-key local export dsa [ name key-name ] { openssh | ssh2 } filename command
to export the host public key to the file. You cannot export the host public key to the folder pkey
or its subfolders.
2. Transfer a copy of the file to the peer device, for example, by using FTP or TFTP in binary mode.
3. On the peer device, use the public-key peer import sshkey command to import the host public key
from the file.
SSH2.0 and OpenSSH are different public key formats. Choose the proper format that is supported on
the device where you import the host public key.
Examples
# Export the host public key of the local DSA key pair with the default name in OpenSSH format to a file
named key.pub.
