Appendix F. SSH key generation
Linux
Use “ssh-keygen” command.
Windows
Use "PUTTYGEN.EXE" software, which is typically located in the c:\Program Files\putty\ directory and
apply the "Generate" button.
To use CLI (Command Line Interface) access the unit with a PuTTY client. Access is protected by a
key. The key can be in Linux format and it begins:
-----BEGIN DSA PRIVATE KEY-----
.....
or in PuTTY format which begins:
PuTTY-User-Key-File-2: ssh-dss
.....
To convert the Linux format to PuTTY do the following:
In c:\Program Files\putty\ directory run PUTTYGEN.EXE
Click on “Load” and choose the Linux private key.
In the next window type your password into the Key passphrase and Confirm passphrase fields. After
that click Save private key. Choose location and save the key.
