1) Since it is switch, i have no way to make use of public key

Which switch? On my HP switches I can just sftp the public
keys in (and fetch the config back out the same way...)
What is the cleanest way to pass password to ssh?
Not sure about "cleanest", but expect (in packages/ports) works ok.
You can generate a script with "autoexpect" and manually edit it.
