MACsec operates on the Ethernet layer and as such is a layer 2 +protocol, which means it's designed to secure traffic within a layer 2 network, +including DHCP or ARP requests. It does not compete with other security +solutions such as IPsec (layer 3) or TLS (layer 4), as all those solutions are +used for their own specific use cases. + +************* +Configuration +************* + +Common interface configuration +============================== + +.. cmdinclude:: ../_include/interface-common-with-dhcp.txt + :var0: macsec + :var1: macsec0 + +MACsec options +============== + +.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces macsec <interface> security cipher [gcm-aes-128] + + Select cipher suite used for cryptographic operations.
