4.2 Prepare CIDATA For PAT

Warning

This section of the documentation is to be used when building a PAT Pod. If you are building a Pod that is going to connect to an existing PAT, then proceed to Section 4.3 of this documentation.

Generate PAT Key Pair

Every PAT requires a key-pair to allow it to SSH into devices it provisions/monitors over the OOB network.

  1. Generate a public / private key pair for PAT on a computer.

  2. The generated public key (id_rsa.pub) will be required for the PAT Public Key in the Wizard form.

  3. The private key will need to be used when setting up PAT projects.
