Note:
For common configuration commands, refer to Table 2-2.
2.3 Configuring an H3C Switch as an SSH Client
When the device connects to the SSH server as an SSH client, you can configure
whether the device supports first-time authentication.
z First-time authentication means that when the SSH client accesses the server for
the first time and is not configured with the server host public key, the user can
continue accessing the server, and will save the host public key on the client for
use in subsequent authentications.
z When first-time authentication is not supported, a client, if not configured with the
server host public key, will be denied of access to the server. To access the server,
a user must configure in advance the server host public key locally and specify the
public key name for authentication.
