Use the Security > SSH (Configure User Key - Copy) page to upload a

user’s public key to the switch. This public key must be stored on the

switch for the user to be able to log in using the public key authentication

mechanism. If the user’s public key does not exist on the switch, SSH will

revert to the interactive password authentication mechanism to complete

authentication.
