802.1AE (MACSEC) over Extreme VPWS

scob_scobowski — Wed, 04 Oct 2017 19:26:00 GMT

I would like to configure a transmission for my customer, terminated on both ends as VMAN on access ports and transfered over my infrastructure as VPWS.

Will this transmission carry the client's MACSEC frames (Ethertype 0x88E5)?

Hi scob,

did you try this out? Does the pseudowire transport MACsec frames?

I would expect that it does, since the EXOS switches do not support MACsec. It would be great if you could report your findings.

Thanks,
Erik
