Entering a peer host public key

Before you perform this task, make sure you have displayed the key on the peer device and recorded
the key. For information about displaying a host public key, see "Displaying a host public key."
Use the display public-key local public command to display the public key on the peer device. The
format of the public key displayed in any other way might be incorrect. If the key is not in the correct
format, the system discards the key and displays an error message. If the key is valid, the system
saves the key.
Always import rather than enter the peer host public key if you are not sure that the device supports
the format of the recorded peer host public key.
To enter a peer host public key:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Specify a name for the peer
host public key and enter
public key view.
3. Type or copy the key.
4. Return to system view.
