configure macsec initialize ports

configure macsec initialize ports port_list

Description

Resets the MAC Security (MACsec) Key Agreement (MKA) protocol state machine on one or more ports and applies MACsec configuration changes to already enabled ports.

Syntax Description


initialize	Selects resetting the MACsec Key Agreement protocol state machine.
ports	Specifies configuring ports.
`port_list`	Lists which ports to reset the MACsec Key Agreement protocol state machine on.

Default

N/A.

Usage Guidelines

Issuing this command resets the MKA state machine, which in turn deletes any secured channels and their secure association keys (SAKs). This command is also used to apply MACsec configuration changes (mka actor-priority, include-sci, replay-protect, mka life-time) to an already enabled port. All traffic is blocked until MKA renegotiates a new set of keys and those keys are installed. For more information, see IEEE802.1X-2010 Clause 12.9.3 Initialization.

Example

The following example resets the MACsec Key Agreement protocol state machine on port 13:

configure macsec initialize ports 13
