Usage Information
This command specifies the rhost file used for host-based authentication. This creates/ file overwrites the
flash:/ADMIN_DIR/ssh/shosts file and deletes the user-specified file. Even though this command is a
global configuration command, it does not appear in the running configuration because you only need to run this
command once.
This file contains hostnames and usernames, for which hosts and users, rhost-authentication can be allowed.
NOTE: For rhostfile and pub-key-file, the administrator must FTP the file to the switch.
