SSH keys

How do you distribute SSH keys once you've generated them? I've watched the CBTNuggets track explaining how to set up a switch for SSH, and he uses the general key option. Does this mean they have to be distributed manually? Do you have to select the exportable option to have them distributed automatically?

You don't have to export keys; the public key will be sent to the client trying to SSH into the switch/router.

Thank you for your response. It makes sense to me.
