This command sets the mutually exclusive modes for MACsec or half-duplex behavior on ExtremeSwitching X460-G2-24p-24hp, X460-G2-24t-24ht, and ExtemeSwitching X465 switches. To use MACsec, you must enable MACsec mode on these switches, since half-duplex mode is the default mode.
To configure half-duplex mode, you must remove any MACsec configuration from the specified ports. To configure MACsec mode, you must remove any half-duplex configuration from the specified ports.
You must save and reboot for this command to take effect.
