Displaying And Maintaining Public Keys - 3Com 4500G Family Configuration Manual

Import it from the public key file: The system automatically converts the public key to a string coded
using the PKCS (Public Key Cryptography Standards). Before importing the public key, you must
upload the peer's public key file (in binary) to the local host through FTP or TFTP.
If you choose to input the public key, the public key must be in a correct format. The key data
displayed by the display public-key local public command can be used to meet the format
requirements. The public key displayed in other methods may not meet the format requirements,
and the format-incompliant key cannot be saved. Thus, you are recommended to configure the
public key of the peer by importing it from a public key file.
The device supports up to 20 host pubic keys of peers.
