The Extreme Networks 5000-MACSEC-LIC-P MACsec licence enables advanced Layer 2 security for Extreme Networks 5000 series switches. Designed to protect data in motion, this MACsec software licence delivers encryption, authentication, and integrity for Ethernet traffic, making it ideal for enterprise access networks where secure host-to-switch connectivity is essential.
MAC Security (MACsec) ensures that only authorised devices can transmit and receive data on the network. By encrypting Ethernet frames, MACsec protects sensitive data from external threats as it traverses public or shared network infrastructure.
The 5000-MACSEC-LIC-P licence is ideal for access switches, securing host-to-switch connections in environments where trusted and untrusted devices may coexist. This helps prevent local network attacks and unauthorised data access at the network edge.
In addition to host-level authentication, MACsec-enabled networks provide data origin authentication, data confidentiality, and data integrity. This ensures that frames are delivered without alteration and only between authenticated systems.
MACsec-enabled hosts encrypt and decrypt every Ethernet frame using secure MACsec keys. The transmitting device encrypts each frame, while the receiving device decrypts it, ensuring the data arrives in its original, unmodified state.
This licence is intended for use with specific Extreme Networks 5000 series switches, including models 5120-24X-4Y, 5120-24X-4Y-TAA, 5120-24XT-4Y, 5120-24XT-4Y-TAA, and 5120-44X-4Y-2C-AC-F, enabling consistent MACsec protection across supported platforms.
