configure macsec replay-protect

configure macsec replay-protect [window_size_in_packets | disable] ports port_list

Description

Configures MAC Security (MACsec) replay-protect window size for port(s).

Syntax Description


replay-protect	Configures dropping out-of-order packets received on a port.
`window_size_in_packets`	Sets replay-protect window size value. Out-of-order packets up to selected value are accepted. Range is 0–4,294,967,295. Default is 0 (out-of-order packets are dropped).
disable	Disables replay protection. Out-of-order packets are allowed.
ports	Specifies configuring ports.
`port_list`	Lists which ports to configure the replay-protect window on.

Default

Default value for replay-protect window is 0 packets, which drops all out-of-order packets.

Usage Guidelines

The replay protection feature provides for the dropping of out-of-order packets received on a port. The window size is set to 0 by default, meaning any packet received out-of-order is dropped. Setting the window size to non-zero sets the range of sequence numbers that are tolerated, to allow receipt of packets that have been misordered by the network. If replay protection is disabled, packet sequence numbers are not checked and out-of-order packets are not dropped.

Important

After enabling MACsec, if you change the replay protect window size, you must run the configure macsec initialize ports port_list command afterward. Otherwise, the change is not applied.

Example

The following example disables replay protection on port 13:

# configure macsec replay-protect disable port 13
# configure macsec intialize port 13

The following example sets replay-protect window size to 50 packets on port 14. If the last data packet received has a packet number (PN) of N, then the next received packet is accepted if its PN is greater than or equal to N-50. If the PN is less than N-50, the packet is dropped and the "Late Pkts" counter is incremented:

# configure macsec replay-protect 50 port 14
# configure macsec intialize port 14
