Ip Ssh Pubkey-Auth - Cisco 300 Series Cli Manual

Telnet, Secure Shell (SSH) and Secure Login (Slogin) Commands
OL-32830-01 Command Line Interface Reference Guide
User Guidelines
This command enables password key authentication by a local SSH server of
remote SSH clients.
The local SSH server advertises all enabled SSH authentication methods and
remote SSH clients are responsible for choosing one of them.
After a remote SSH client is successfully authenticated by public key, the client
must still be AAA-authenticated to gain management access to the device.
If no SSH authentication method is enabled, remote SSH clients must still be
AAA-authenticated before being granted management access to the device.
Example
The following example enables password authentication of the SSH client.
switchxxxxxx(config)#
