Default
The default SSH public keys are an RSA key generated using 2048 bits, an ECDSA key with 256 bits, and an
Ed2559 key with 256 bits.
Command Mode CONFIGURATION
Usage
Information
To configure multiple public keys for SSH password-less login of a specific user, use the username
username sshkey filename command. The no form of the command removes the public key
configuration of a specified user.
Remote client system stores the public key of a user in the ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub file. Use public key as
the sshkey-string parameter.
Supported on the MX9116n and MX5108n switches in Full Switch mode starting in release 10.4.1.0. Also
supported in SmartFabric mode starting in release 10.5.0.1.

username sshkey filename
Enables SSH password-less login for remote clients using multiple public keys. A remote client is not prompted to enter a
password.
Syntax
username username sshkey filename filepath
Parameters
● username — Enter an OS10 user name who logs in on a remote client. This value is the user name
configured using the username password role command.
● filepath — Enter the absolute path name of the local file containing the public keys used by
remote devices to log in to the OS10 switch.
Default
The default SSH public keys are an RSA key generated using 2048 bits, an ECDSA key with 256 bits, and
an Ed2559 key with 256 bits.
Command Mode CONFIGURATION
Usage
Information
Before you use the command, locate the public keys on a remote client in the ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub file.
Create a text file and copy the SSH public keys on the remote client into the file. Enter each public key on
a separate line. Download the file to your home OS10 directory.
NOTE: Entering the command when an SSH key file is not present has no effect and results in a
silent failure. SSH password-less login is not enabled.
Supported on the MX9116n and MX5108n switches in Full Switch mode starting in release 10.4.1.0. Also
supported in SmartFabric mode starting in release 10.5.0.1.
