C3750 passwordless ssh

[dave.barton]

Hi all,

I have a couple of C3750's running ssh v2. I have a couple of scripts that run once in a while. Is it possible to setup passwordless ssh logins.

I guess you would have to store the public key of your authorized server somewhere on the switch. I cant find any documentation on this.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks,

Ben

Ive got as far as getting the public key from my server by using the commands:

crypto key pubkey-chain rsa

named-key servername

key-string

Then entering the key in hex format.

I can view it using the command "show crypto key pubkey-chain rsa name servername"

But the command I think I need to turn on authentication by key ("ip ssh pubkey-auth") does not appear to be supported on my IOS version (which is the latest as far as I can tell (12.2(25)SEE1)).

Interestingly this all seems to be supported by the dell PowerConnect? 5324 switches. Strange its not in Cisco's own switches yet!

Any ideas?
