88Chapter 3 Managing the network access devices

Managing SSH keys for Nortel SNA communication using the CLI

To retrieve the public key for the network access device and export the public key for the domain, use the following command:

/cfg/domain #/switch #/sshkey

The SSH Key menu displays.

The SSH Key menu includes the following options:

/cfg/domain #/switch #/sshkey followed by:

import

Retrieves the SSH public key from the network access

 

device, if it is reachable.

 

 

add

Allows you to paste in the contents of a key file you

 

have downloaded from the Ethernet Routing

 

Switch 8300 network access device.

 

When prompted, paste in the key, then press Enter.

 

Enter an elllipsis (...) to signal the end of the key.

 

 

del

Deletes the SSH public key for the network access

 

device in the domain.

 

 

show

Displays the SSH public key for the network access

 

device.

 

 

export

Exports the SSH public key for the Nortel SNAS 4050

 

domain to the network access device.

 

Note: You cannot use this command to export the key

 

to an Ethernet Routing Switch 5500 series switch.

 

Instead, use the

 

/cfg/domain#1/sshkey/export command to

 

upload the key to a file exchange server.

 

 

user <user>

Specifies the user name for the network access device

 

(required for Ethernet Routing Switch 8300 only).

 

user is the user name of an administrative user

 

(rwa) on the switch.
