Cisco Nexus 9000 - MacSec Compatibility?

[tolinrome tolinrome]

Hello,

I have some Nexus9000 93180YC-EX chassis" switches and couldn't determine if they were MacSec capable? I checked under the feature set and MacSec isn't an option.

Is it a limitation on the hardware or software only, or both?

Thanks.

Hi

 They support. MacSec is the protocol 802.1AE.

Actually, it doesn't. Not on the EX line cards as mentioned.

Thanks anyway though.
