Enabling MACsec desire

The MACsec desire feature expects MACsec protection for outbound frames. The key server determines whether MACsec protects the outbound frames.

MACsec protects the outbound frames of a port when the following requirements are met:

• The key server is MACsec capable.

• Both the local participant and its peer are MACsec capable.

• A minimum of one participant is enabled with MACsec desire.

1. Enter system view.

   system-view

2. Enter interface view.

   interface interface-type interface-number

3. Enable MACsec desire.

   macsec desire

   By default, the port does not expect MACsec protection for outbound frames.
