For the same reason, neither can the result of the display public-keylocal rsa public command be used in the rsa peer-public-key command directly.1.7 SSH Configuration Examples1.7.1 When Switch Acts as Server for Local Password AuthenticationI. Network requirementsAs shown in Figure 1-10, establish an SSH connection between the host (SSH Client)and the switch (SSH Server) for secure data exchange. The host runs SSH2.0 clientsoftware. Password authentication is required.II. Network diagramFigure 1-10 Switch acts as server for local password authentication
