As per the mechanism suggested for MKA protocol, a new SAK generation, distribution and installation in all members of a connectivity association ( CA ) can be thought of happening in a number of steps

MACsec operates as a global fabric configuration, encrypting traffic between core switches while excluding ancillary traffic, such as tap-to-filter or tool delivery. This feature introduces configurable MACsec path requirements, enabling the formation of multi-DC fabrics where inter-DC communication utilizes encrypted MACsec links while intra-DC traffic remains unencrypted.

Support for Media Access Control Security (MACsec) with static keys was added in EOS 4.15.4. This feature brings

A MACsec port with this feature enabled transmits LLDP frames without MACSec encryption and receives LLDP frames

If MACsec is enabled on an interface, it tries to establish MACsec Key Agreement (MKA) session(s) with its peer.

Media Access Control Security (MACSec) is an industry standard encryption mechanism that protects all traffic flowing on the Ethernet links. MACSec is based on IEEE 802.1X and IEEE 802.1AE standards. This document describes the details of MACSec on CCS-722XPM-48Y4 and CCS-722XPM-48ZY8 products. MACSec on these platforms is implemented by internally sending frames to be decrypted or encrypted to a block of the switch chip, referred to as the MACSec engine.

This feature enables MacSec service over VxLAN . Macsec over Vxlan is provided by mapping a VNI, Remote VTEP Ip to a

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.

MACsec Stateful Switchover (SSO) allows for a switchover from an active supervisor to a standby supervisor where MACsec traffic remains undisrupted during switchover. This TOI describes details and limitations of MACsec Stateful Switchover.

DMF 8.7.0 supports Media Access Control Security (MACsec) as an Early Field Trial (EFT) feature. MACsec is a global configuration option for the entire fabric, with the option to enable it on intracore traffic only. MACsec only encrypts traffic between core switches, ignoring all other ancillary traffic (e.g., tap to filter, delivery to tool). MACsec is a licensed feature. Verify a MACsec license is installed on all switches participating in MACsec before using this feature.

By default, the only visibility a user has into packets that are dropped due to errors with the MACsec/IPsec protocols is a set of counters, such as with show mac security counters detail. This feature enables redirecting such packets to the CPU for manual inspection; it is intended to assist with debugging unexpected packet drops.

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.
