In this task, you can configure the RSA server public key of the peer. However, the public key
configured cannot be used for identity authentication in SSH applications, which use the RSA
host public key. For more information about SSH, see SSH2.0 Configuration in the Security
Configuration Guide.
Follow these steps to import the host public key of a peer from the public key file:

Configuring the Public Key of a Peer Manually
Network requirements
As shown in Figure 11-2 , to prevent illegal access, Device B authenticates Device A through
digital signature. Before configuring authentication parameters on Device B, configure the
public key of Device A on Device B. More specifically,
z Configure Device B to use the asymmetric key algorithm of RSA for identity authentication
of Device A.
z Manually configure the host public key of Device A on Device B.
