Description

Specify a MAC address to enable MACsec using static secure association key (SAK) security mode. The mac-address variables must match on the sending and receiving ends of a link to enable MACsec using static SAK security mode.

If you are configuring a MAC address on a secure channel in the outbound direction, you should specify the MAC address of the interface as the mac-address.

If you are configuring a MAC address on a secure channel in the inbound direction, you should specify the MAC address of the interface at the other end of the link as the mac-address.

You only use this configuration option when you are configuring MACsec using static SAK security mode. This option does not need to be specified when you are enabling MACsec using static connectivity association key (CAK) security mode.
