Re^2: SSH - Key Authentication

i already tried strict_host_key_checking => 0 in the past, for few devices SSH connection was not happening. i was getting error message that "channel not identified". This was because of using the option strict_host_key_checking => 0. Hence i decided not to use it

Those are unrelated things. You were probably doing something else wrong.
