This article explains how to configure SSH key-based authentication for discovering multiple Linux servers using RN150.
You can generate a single SSH key pair on the RN150 system and reuse it across multiple Linux servers, simplifying setup and ongoing management.
- Generate an SSH Key Pair
Run the following command on the RN150 system:
ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 2048
This creates:
-
- Private key:
id_rsa - Public key:
id_rsa.pub
- Private key:
- Distribute the Public Key
Copy the public key to each target Linux server:
ssh-copy-id user@target-server
- Configure RN150
Provide the private key in the RN150 interface for authentication.
- Verify Connectivity
Test SSH access to confirm successful authentication:
ssh user@target-server
RN150 can now securely connect to multiple Linux servers using a single SSH key pair without requiring passwords.
