Overview

Provides comprehensive guidance on monitoring and troubleshooting MACsec performance using SecY statistics, SNMP MIBs, and CLI commands to ensure secure network management and diagnostics.

MACsec SecY statistics

Describes MACsec SecY statistics, which track operational metrics for packet processing, encryption, and decryption, helping administrators identify issues in secure network communications.

MACsec SNMP MIB

Describes the IEEE8021-SECY-MIB, which provides SNMP access to MACsec entity data, enabling remote monitoring of encryption and hardware-related performance attributes.

Use SNMP commands to access SECY MIB

Retreive SECY MIB data for MACsec interfaces by using SNMP commands.

Obtain the MACsec controlled port interface index

Retrieve the interface index (ifIndex) for MACsec controlled ports using the snmpwalk commad on the IfMib or the show snmp interface CLI command. Identify the interface index (ifIndex) for MACsec controlled ports by using the snmpwalk command on the IfMib or the show snmp interface CLI command. These methods allow you to accurately locate and monitor your MACsec-enabled network interfaces for effective management.

SNMP query examples

Provides practical examples of SNMP commands, such as snmpwalk and snmpget, that enable network administrators to retrieve and monitor SECY MIB data for MACsec-enabled interfaces.
