Obtaining a host key using the CLI

Use the command in this section to obtain the host key of the Central Management System appliance. This is the key that you will import into the global host-keys database of the managed File Protect appliance.

Important

You must obtain the RSA v2 key.

The host-key string may need to be modified in Network Address Translation (NAT) deployments. For details, see Configuring global host-key authentication in a NAT deployment .

To obtain the host key:

View the keys:

hostname > show ssh server host-keys interface ether1

Locate the RSA v2 host key entry.
Copy the key string, including the double quotation marks.
Do one of the following:
- Paste the key into the File Protect CLI, as described in Importing a host key into the global host-keys database using the CLI .
- Paste the key into a text file and save it for later.

Example

This example displays the Central Management System host keys. The RSA v2 key is highlighted for illustration.
