Importing a DSA or RSA Public Key

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 Import Authorized Public Keys into the ICX Device.

To import a DSA or RSA public key from a client using SCP, enter the scp command followed by the filename of the public DSA or RSA key to be imported, the name of a valid user on the server and the server IP address from which the key is to be imported, and the filename sshPubKey, where the key is stored on the RUCKUS ICX device.

C:\> scp pkeys.txt user@10.168.1.234:sshPubKey

The example imports the private key file pkeys.txt from a valid user on the server at IP address 10.168.1.234 (user@10.168.1.234) and stores it in the key file sshPubKey on the RUCKUS ICX device.
