NAME
       ip-macsec - MACsec device configuration

SYNOPSIS
       ip  link add link DEVICE name NAME type macsec [ [ address <lladdr> ] port PORT | sci <u64> ]
       [ cipher { default | gcm-aes-128 | gcm-aes-256"}][" icvlen ICVLEN ] [ encrypt { on | off }  ]
       [  send_sci { on | off } ] [ end_station { on | off } ] [ scb { on | off } ] [ protect { on |
       off } ] [ replay { on | off } ] [ window WINDOW ] [ validate { strict | check | disabled }  ]
       [ encodingsa SA ] [ offload { off | phy | mac } ]

       ip macsec add DEV tx sa { 0..3 } [ OPTS ] key ID KEY
       ip macsec set DEV tx sa { 0..3 } [ OPTS ]
       ip macsec del DEV tx sa { 0..3 }

       ip macsec add DEV rx SCI [ on | off ]
       ip macsec set DEV rx SCI [ on | off ]
       ip macsec del DEV rx SCI

       ip macsec add DEV rx SCI sa { 0..3 } [ OPTS ] key ID KEY
       ip macsec set DEV rx SCI sa { 0..3 } [ OPTS ]
       ip macsec del DEV rx SCI sa { 0..3 }

       ip macsec offload DEV { off | phy | mac }

       ip macsec show [ DEV ]

       OPTS := [ pn { 1..2^32-1 } ] [ on | off ]
       SCI := { sci <u64> | port PORT address <lladdr> }
       PORT := { 1..2^16-1 }



DESCRIPTION
       The  ip macsec commands are used to configure transmit secure associations and receive secure
       channels and their secure associations on a MACsec device created with the ip link  add  com‐
       mand using the macsec type.


EXAMPLES
   Create a MACsec device on link eth0 (offload is disabled by default)
       # ip link add link eth0 macsec0 type macsec port 11 encrypt on

   Configure a secure association on that device
       # ip macsec add macsec0 tx sa 0 pn 1024 on key 01 81818181818181818181818181818181

   Configure a receive channel
       # ip macsec add macsec0 rx port 1234 address c6:19:52:8f:e6:a0

   Configure a receive association
       # ip macsec add macsec0 rx port 1234 address c6:19:52:8f:e6:a0 sa 0 pn 1 on key 00 82828282828282828282828282828282

   Display MACsec configuration
       # ip macsec show

   Configure offloading on an interface
       # ip macsec offload macsec0 phy

   Configure offloading upon MACsec device creation
       # ip link add link eth0 macsec0 type macsec port 11 encrypt on offload mac


NOTES
       This  tool can be used to configure the 802.1AE keys of the interface. Note that 802.1AE uses
       GCM-AES with a initialization vector (IV) derived from the packet number. The same  key  must
       not be used with the same IV more than once. Instead, keys must be frequently regenerated and
       distributed.  This tool is thus mostly for debugging and testing, or in  combination  with  a
       user-space  application  that  reconfigures  the keys. It is wrong to just configure the keys
       statically and assume them to work indefinitely. The suggested and standardized way  for  key
       management is 802.1X-2010, which is implemented by wpa_supplicant.
