Downloading SSH Host Keys

For the switch to accept SSH connections from a management station, the switch needs SSH host keys or
certificates. The switch can generate its own keys or certificates, or you can generate these externally (i.e., off-
line) and download them to the switch.
To download an SSH host key from a TFTP server to the switch, use the instructions in
Certificates" on page 380. However, from the File Type field on the File Download page, select one of the
following key file types to download:
• SSH-1 RSA Key File: SSH-1 Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA) Key File.
• SSH-2 RSA Key PEM File: SSH-2 Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA) Key File (PEM Encoded).
• SSH-2 DSA Key PEM File: SSH-2 Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA) Key File (PEM Encoded).
