Device-oriented MACsec configuration example

As shown in Figure 163, Device A is the MACsec key server.

To secure data transmission between the two devices by MACsec, perform the following tasks on Device A and Device B, respectively:

• Set the MACsec confidentiality offset to 30 bytes.

• Enable MACsec replay protection, and set the replay protection window size to 100.

• Set the MACsec validation mode to strict.

• Configure the CAK name (CKN) and the CAK as E9AC and 09DB3EF1, respectively.

1. Configure Device A:

   # Enter system view.

   <DeviceA> system-view
   

   # Enter GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 interface view.

   [DeviceA] interface gigabitethernet 1/0/1
   

   # Enable MACsec desire on GigabitEthernet 1/0/1.

   [DeviceA-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] macsec desire
   

   # Set the MKA key server priority to 5.

   [DeviceA-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] mka priority 5
   

   # Configure the CKN as E9AC and the CAK as 09DB3EF1 in plain text.

   [DeviceA-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] mka psk ckn E9AC cak simple 09DB3EF1
   

   # Set the MACsec confidentiality offset to 30 bytes.

   [DeviceA-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] macsec confidentiality-offset 30
   

   # Enable MACsec replay protection.

   [DeviceA-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] macsec replay-protection enable
   

   # Set the MACsec replay protection window size to 100.

   [DeviceA-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] macsec replay-protection window-size 100
   

   # Set the MACsec validation mode to strict.

   [DeviceA-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] macsec validation mode strict
   

   # Enable MKA on GigabitEthernet 1/0/1.

   [DeviceA-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] mka enable
   [DeviceA-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] quit
   

2. Configure Device B:

   # Enter system view.

   <DeviceB> system-view
   

   # Enter GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 interface view.

   [DeviceB] interface gigabitethernet 1/0/1
   

   # Enable MACsec desire on GigabitEthernet 1/0/1.

   [DeviceB-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] macsec desire
   

   # Set the MKA key server priority to 10.

   [DeviceB-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] mka priority 10
   

   # Configure the CKN as E9AC and the CAK as 09DB3EF1 in plain text.

   [DeviceB-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] mka psk ckn E9AC cak simple 09DB3EF1
   

   # Set the MACsec confidentiality offset to 30 bytes.

   [DeviceB-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] macsec confidentiality-offset 30
   

   # Enable MACsec replay protection.

   [DeviceB-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] macsec replay-protection enable
   

   # Set the MACsec replay protection window size to 100.

   [DeviceB-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] macsec replay-protection window-size 100
   

   # Set the MACsec validation mode to strict.

   [DeviceB-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] macsec validation mode strict
   

   # Enable MKA on GigabitEthernet 1/0/1.

   [DeviceB-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] mka enable
   [DeviceB-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] quit
   

# Display MACsec information on GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 of Device A.
