Description

Specifies the connectivity association key (CAK) for a pre-shared key.

To configure MACsec on the supported ports, you need to create the preshared key by configuring the connectivity association key name (CKN) and connectivity association key (CAK).

A preshared key is exchanged between directly-connected links to establish a MACsec-secure link. The CKN is a 64-digit hexadecimal number and the CAK is a 32-digit hexadecimal number. The CKN and the CAK must match on both ends of a link to create a MACsec-secured link.

Default

No CAK exists, by default.

Options
