MACsec between 2 3560-X without encryption module

[kamarale]

Hello,

I only need to encrypt an UTP link (copper UPLINK 1GB) between 2 switches.
Do I need a separate service module to do this? In the FAQ is confusing.

Thanks in advance

Regards.

Hello, Alexis. 

Yes, you need to have a network module that supports MACsec on both 3560-X to have a two way encryption. What network module are you already using on your 3560-Xs? Let me know if you have other concerns or e-mail (adawa@cisco.com) me directly. Kind regards.
