Creates a named connectivity-association (CA) object that holds MAC Security (MACsec) key authentication data.
connectivity-association | Secures connectivity provided between MACsec stations. |
ca_name | Defines CA object name. |
pre-shared-key | Selects static MACsec key consisting of both a CKN and CAK: |
ckn |
Selects CA key name. This public (non-secret) key name allows each of the MKA participants to select which connectivity association k ey (CAK) to use to process a received MACsec key agreement (MKA) protocol packets (MKPDU). |
ckn |
Sets the CA key name. Length allowed is 1–32 characters, entered as ASCII or an octet string preceded with 0x. |
cak | Sets the connectivity association key (CAK). 16 octets. This is a long-lived secret key used to derive short-lived lower-layer keys (ICK, KEK, and SAK) which are used for key distribution and data encryption. . |
encrypted | Designates that secret key value is in encrypted format. |
encrypted_cak | Sets the value for the secret key. Needs to be in the format of an encrypted string or octet string of length 16 preceded with "0x". |
cak | Sets the non-encrypted CAK value. May be entered as an octet string (for example: “0x859e72f0…”) or as an encrypted key |
N/A.
Note
The CAK shown here is an example. Use your own random number for maximum security.# create macsec connectivity-association testca pre-shared-key ckn “the blue key” cak “0x01020304050607080910111213141516”
This command was first available in ExtremeXOS 30.1.
This command is available on the following platforms.
Note
The MACsec feature requires the installation of the MAC Security feature pack license.Platform | Ports | LRM/MACsec Adapter Required? |
