MACsec?

[Christoph]

Hello,

are there any plans to implement IEEE 802.1AE on Enterasys / Extreme switches and APs in future?
I think especially for inter switch links it would be a great security benefit.

Kind regards
Christoph

Hi,

Can you please detail what's happening when changing to a 1G SFP instead of a 10G SFP. Afaik, 1G is supported.

Hi Michael,

thanks for your reply!

We've now tested Macsec with two new SSA-180... Works really good so far!

Unfortunately it's not working if we change the 10G SFPs with 1G SFPs.
Can you confirm this?

Would have been great for some cases where we just have a 1G-EtherConnect between to sites.

Regards,
Martin

Hi there,

Seems like MACsec is now implemented in S- and 71- Series, since FW Version 8.41.

Does anyone have some experience already?

Thanks,
Martin

I will go ahead and change this to an idea so we can track with product management. thank you Christoph!

Hello Christoph

As of right now 802.1AE is not supported on any of the equipment. The S series switches are capable of supporting 802.1AE but it has not been added to the SW as of yet. I believe the other half of MACsec (802.1X-2010) is still under development

If that changes we will let you know

Thanks
