Providing the Public Key to Clients

The host RSA key pair is stored in the system-config file of the RUCKUS ICX device. Only the public key is readable. Some SSH client programs add the public key to the known hosts file automatically. In other cases, you must manually create a known hosts file and place the public key of the RUCKUS ICX device in it.

If you are using SSH to connect to a RUCKUS ICX device from a UNIX system, you may need to add the public key from the RUCKUS ICX device to a “known hosts” file on the client UNIX system; for example, $HOME/.ssh/known_hosts.
