Configure public RSA key authentication[edit]

Main Cisco IOS command: ip ssh pubkey-chain[1]

Configuration Example in Linux:

1. Generate your key if you do not have already one: ssh-keygen

2. Split your key in 72 characters lines: fold -b -w 72 ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub and copy output removing ssh-rsa and last part: username@hostname

3. Configure switch/router

Router_name_1#configure terminal
Router_name_1(config)#ip ssh pubkey-chain 
Router_name_1(conf-ssh-pubkey)#username YOUR_USERNAME
Router_name_1(conf-ssh-pubkey-user)#key-string
Router_name_1(conf-ssh-pubkey-data)#AAAAB6NzaC1yc2EAAAABJQAAAQEAijoMF9oBwyQxwYbVlFprz+fG8oe5uAcCxwMw

Router_name_1(conf-ssh-pubkey-data)#RGauEp7FzN/uXxsX7mii6qOuxovl9OflLpXcvH5QH6551ycmL8nIv8UCY8uayiGI

Router_name_1(conf-ssh-pubkey-data)#exit
Router_name_1(conf-ssh-pubkey-user)#exit
Router_name_1(conf-ssh-pubkey)#exit
Router_name_1(config)#

  key-hash ssh-rsa 767FA62B914XX0094A293CE7E50C7E35
 username USERNAME2
  key-hash ssh-rsa C718DBA2DC9XX08C3BF35331E2E8EAt6
.../...

Posible errors: %SSH: Failed to decode the Key Value. Make sure you split your key on multiple lines with fold command


Remove user from ssh authentication[edit]

Router_name_1#configure terminal
Router_name_1(config)#ip ssh pubkey-chain 
Router_name_1(conf-ssh-pubkey)#no username YOUR_USERNAME
