Description

Specify parameters for the MACsec Key Agreement (MKA) protocol. Two devices initially establish a MACsec-secured link using a pre-shared key when you are using static CAK security mode to enable MACsec. Once matching pre-shared keys are successfully exchanged, the MACsec Key Agreement (MKA) protocol is enabled. The MKA protocol is responsible for maintaining MACsec on the link, and it decides which switch on the point-to-point link becomes the key server. The key server then creates an SAK that is shared with the switch at the other end of the point-to-point link only, and that SAK is used to secure all data traffic traversing the link.

Options

eapol-ethertype-profile eapol-profile-name Apply the profile that sets a custom EtherType for Extensible Authentication Protocol over LAN (EAPoL) to MACsec packets.
disable-icv-indicator Disable the integrity check value (ICV) indicator type, length, and value (TLV) on the MKA protocol. By default, the ICV indicator is enabled. In most networks, devices ignore the ICV TLV when MACsec is configured and establish a MACsec session instead. In networks that do not establish a MACsec session when the ICV TLV is enabled, use this option to disable it and allow the network to establish the MACsec session.
