Dell EMC SmartFabric OS10 User Guide Release 10.5.0

PDF

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.

The no version of the command removes the SSH password-less configuration for the specified user name.
