In my lab i am trying to do login into bigip2 using a SSH vs on bigip1 . .i cant figure out which keys go where . .

 

Multiple keys need to be added but the guide is very confusing with its steps.

 

So i have

 

PC ---> ssh VS on bigip1 ---> ssh bigip2.

 

I understand i need to add PC public key to bigip2 authorized keys, but i cant find nor create that dir using mkdir..

 

 

And then I need to add pub key of bigip1 to proxy client auth in ssh proxy I guess and public key of PC to bigip1 as well?

 

And what goes into the real server key option?
