Configuring Secure Shell (SSH)

3.

Ensure that there are no line breaks in the text string. (A public key must be an unbroken ASCII 
string. Line breaks are not allowed.) For example, if you are using Windows® Notepad, ensure 
that 

Word Wrap (in the Edit menu) is disabled, and that the key text appears on a single line. 

4.

Add any data required by your SSH client application. For example Before saving the key to an 
SSH client’s "known hosts" file you may have to insert the switch’s IP address:

For more on this topic, refer to the documentation provided with your SSH client application.

The switch provides three options for displaying its public key. This is 

helpful if you need to visually verify that the public key the switch is using for authenticating itself 
to a client matches the copy of this key in the client’s "known hosts" file:

■

 Requires a client ability to display the keys in the 

"known hosts" file in the ASCII format. This method is tedious and error-prone due to the 
large ASCII number set. (See figure 33 on page 88.)

■

 Outputs the key as a relatively short series of alphabetic character groups. 

Requires a client ability to convert the key to this format. 

■

 Outputs the key as a relatively short series of hexadecimal numbers. 

Requires a parallel client ability.

For example, on the switch, you would generate the phonetic and hexadecimal versions of the 
switch’s public key in figure 33 as follows:
