2. Import an RSA key pair.
public-key local import rsa
name key-name pem
After you execute the public-key local
import command, copy the private key
of the RSA key pair at the prompt (the
public key is included in the private
key), press Ctrl+C, and then enter the
password used to encrypt the RSA key
pair when the key pair was exported.
You cannot use an imported RSA key
pair as the default RSA key pair.
The RSA key pair to be imported must
be in PEM format.
Specifying the peer public key on the local device
In SSH, to enable the local device to authenticate a peer device, specify the peer public key on the local
device. The device supports up to 20 peer public keys.
For information about displaying or exporting the host public key, see "Displaying or exporting the local
ho
st public key."

3. Save the host public key of the intended
asymmetric key pair in a file.
4. Transfer a copy of the file through FTP
or TFTP in binary mode to the local
device.
During the import process, the system
automatically converts the public key to
a string in Public Key Cryptography
Standards (PKCS) format.

• Display and record the public key of the
intended asymmetric key pair.
• If the peer device is an HP device, use the
display public-key local public
command to view and record its public
key. A public key displayed by other
methods for the HP device may not be in
a correct format.
• The recorded public key must be in
the correct format, or the manual
configuration of a
format-incompliant public key will
fail.
• Always use the first method if you
are not sure about the format of the
recorded public key.
