The SSH server on this switch supports both password and public key
authentication. If password authentication is specified by the SSH client, then
the password can be authenticated either locally or via a RADIUS or
TACACS+ remote authentication server, as specified by the authentication
login
command on page 4-100. If
public key authentication is specified by
the client, then you must configure authentication keys on both the client and
the switch as described in the following section. Note that regardless of
whether you use public key or password authentication, you still have to
generate authentication keys on the switch and enable the SSH server.

To use the SSH server, complete these steps:

1. Generate a Host Key Pair – Use the ip ssh crypto host-key generate

command to create a host public/private key pair.

2. Provide Host Public Key to Clients – Many SSH client programs

automatically import the host public key during the initial connection
setup with the switch. Otherwise, you need to manually create a known
hosts file on the management station and place the host public key in it.
An entry for a public key in the known hosts file would appear similar to
the following example:

10.1.0.54 1024 35 15684995401867669259333946775054617325313674890836547254
