The macsec scheduler compensation feature is used to automatically make adjustments to the packet size seen by the scheduler for macsec encrypted traffic, based on mac security configuration. This feature is useful when macsec is configured on an interface. When a packet egresses out of the macsec enabled interface, the packet gets encrypted by adding additional macsec headers.

Currently, in EOS Macsec, padding of partial keys internally prepends both the CAK and CKN hex strings with 0s to satisfy the requirement of Key Derivation Function.This feature allows users to configure the zero padding to either prepend or append the pre-shared CAK/CKN configured in mac security profile. In general, full length CAK/CKN are recommended to be configured. However, this CLI knob can be used in case of configuration of partial CAK/CKN results into issues with derived keys between the peers. Note that the CKN advertised in MACsec control frames will still be without any padding, even when partial CKN is configured.

Support for Media Access Control Security ( MACsec ) was added in EOS-4.15.4. MACsec defines a secure channel ( SC ) from one peer to another peer as a security relationship which provides security guarantees for the frames transmitted from the first peer to the second peer.

VLAN tagged MACsec refers to frames that have a VLAN tag between the MAC source address and the MACsec ethertype. This VLAN tag is unencrypted (in the clear) so that intermediate devices between the MACsec endpoints can forward the MACsec frames based on this unencrypted VLAN tag.
