When switch acts as client for publickey authentication

Network requirements
As shown in
(the SSH server) through the SSH protocol. Use the DSA public key algorithm.
Figure 59 Network diagram
Configuration procedure
During SSH server configuration, the client public key is required. Use the client software to generate a
DSA key pair on the client before configuring the SSH server.
Configure the SSH client:
1.
# Create VLAN-interface 1 and assign an IP address to it.
<SwitchA> system-view
[SwitchA] interface vlan-interface 1
[SwitchA-Vlan-interface1] ip address 10.165.87.137 255.255.255.0
[SwitchA-Vlan-interface1] 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]:
