Displaying or exporting the local host public key
In SSH, to allow your local device to be authenticated by a peer device through digital signature, you
must display or export the local host public key, which will then be specified on the peer device.
To display or export the local host public key, choose one of the following methods:
• Displaying and recording the host public key information
• Displaying the host public key in a specifi
c format and saving it to a file
• Exporting the host public key in a specific format to a file
If
your local device functions to authenticate the peer device, you must specify the peer public key on the
local device. For more information, see "Specifying the peer public key on the local device."
Displaying and recording the host public key information
After you display the host public key, record the key information for manually configuration of the key on
the peer device.
