AWS Extreme Switch MACSec

Has anyone implemented MACSec with AWS and Extreme switches or routers?

What hardware would be suitable for a 100G AWS MACSec interconnection?

Hi there, hopefully someone has used that configuration before and can jump in here, but I wanted to mention that your second question regarding what hardware would be best, that is a better question for your local sales engineer. If you’re unsure who to reach out to for your sales engineer, please let me know generally where you are located and I will find a local contact for you to speak with.

Hi @Sam Pirok

Thanks for the answer, I’ve already contacted a system engineer and gotten a response.

In the meantime I wanted to see if someone had any actual experience with this use-case.

It seams that AWS MACSec integration cannot be supported with Extreme switches due to missing support on the XPN (64bit) feature.
