Follow these steps to import the RSA public key from a public key file: 

Enter system view 

— 

Import the RSA public key from 
a public key file 

rsa peer-public-key keyname 
import sshkey filename 

Required 

 

The result of the display rsa local-key-pair public command or the public key converted with the 

SSHKEY tool contains no information such as the authentication type, so they cannot be directly used 

as parameters in the public-key peer command. For the same reason, neither can the result of the 

display public-key local rsa public command be used in the rsa peer-public-key command directly. 

 

 

This configuration task is unnecessary if the SSH user’s authentication mode is password. 

 

For the publickey authentication mode, you must specify the client’s public key on the server for 

authentication. 

Follow these steps to assign a public key for an SSH user: 

Enter system view 

— 

Assign a public key to an 
SSH user 

ssh user username assign 
{ publickey | rsa-key } keyname 

Required 

If you issue this command multiple 
times, the last command overrides 
the previous ones. 

 

Both the keywords publickey  and rsa-key represent the public key, and have the same 

implementation. 

 

This configuration task allows you to specify a source IP address or interface for the SSH server, which 

is used by clients as the destination.
