Importing an RSA private key

To import an RSA private key from a client using SCP, enter a command such as the following one:

C:\> scp keyfile [email protected]:sslPrivKey

Syntax: scp key-filenameuser@ip-address sslPrivKey

The ip-address variable is the IP address of the server that contains the private key file.

The key-filename variable is the file name of the private key that you want to import into the device.

The scp command can be used when TFTP access is unavailable or not permitted and the command
has an equivalent functionality to the ip ssl private-key-file tftp command.

Importing a DSA or RSA public key

To import a DSA or RSA public key from a client using SCP, enter a command
such as the following one:

C:\> scp pkeys.txt [email protected]:sshPubKey

Syntax: scp key-filenameuser@ip-address :sshPubKey

The ip-address variable is the IP address of the server that contains the public
key file.

The key-filename variable is the name of the DSA or RSA public key file that
you want to import into the device.

The scp command can be used when TFTP access is unavailable or not
permitted and the command has an equivalent function to the ip ssh pub-key-
file tftp
command. For more information on the ip ssh pub-key-file tftp
command, refer to

For FSX:

C:\> scp license.xml [email protected]:license

C:\> scp license.xml [email protected]:license:3 (unit3)

Syntax: scp license-filenameuser@ip-address :license
