To configure RSA public keys for Linux (using OpenSSH 4.3):
1. Run the following command to create a new key in the admin.key file and to save the
public portion to the admin.key.pub file:
ssh-keygen -f admin.key -N "" -b 1024
2. Open the admin.key.pub file, and then copy the encoded string from "ssh-rsa" to the
white space.
3. Open the Telnet/SSH Settings page (Configuration tab > System menu >
Management > Telnet/SSH Settings), and then paste the value copied in Step 2 into
the 'Admin Key' field.

Establishing a CLI Session

The device's CLI can be accessed using any of the following methods:

RS-232: The device can be accessed through its RS-232 serial port, by connecting a
VT100 terminal to it or using a terminal emulation program (e.g., HyperTerminal) with
a PC. For connecting to the CLI through RS-232, see ''CLI'' on page 33.

Secure SHell (SSH): The device can be accessed through its Ethernet interface by
the SSH protocol using SSH client software. A popular and freeware SSH client
software is Putty, which can be downloaded from
www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html.
