Distributing A Local Host Public Key; Exporting A Host Public Key; Displaying A Host Public Key - HP FlexNetwork 10500 Series Security Configuration Manual

Distributing a local host public key

You must distribute a local host public key to a peer device so the peer device can perform the
following operations:
•
Use the public key to encrypt information sent to the local device.
•
Authenticate the digital signature signed by the local device.
To distribute a local host public key, you must first export or display the key.
•
Export a host public key:
Export a host public to a file.
Export a host public key to the monitor screen, and then save it to a file.
After the key is exported to a file, transfer the file to the peer device. On the peer device, import
the key from the file.
•
Display a host public key.
After the key is displayed, record the key, for example, copy it to an unformatted file. On the
peer device, you must literally enter the key.

Exporting a host public key

When you export a host public key, follow these restrictions and guidelines:
•
If you specify a file name in the command, the command exports the key to the specified file.
•
If you do not specify a file name, the command exports the key to the monitor screen. You must
manually save the exported key to a file.
To export a local host public key:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Export a local host public
key.
