To create a global PSK

Before you begin

Note: Distribution of a global PSK requires the allow-immediate parameter in the NE configuration to be set. If the parameter is set to no-allow-immediate, the PSK distribution will fail. See the NE documentation for more information about NE configuration.

Steps
 
1 

Choose Manage → MACsec from the NFM-P main menu. The Manage MACsec form opens.


2 

Choose a connectivity association and click Properties. The Connectivity Association (Edit) form opens.

Note: For 7705 SR, 7450 ESS, and 7950 XRS nodes only.

For NFM-P 26.4 and later, or node releases 26.3 and later, the MKA Hello Interval and Key Server Priority attributes are listed in the General tab. For NFM-P releases earlier than 26.4, or node releases earlier than 26.3, the MKA Hello Interval and Key Server Priority attributes are listed in the Static CAK tab.


3 

Click on the Static CAK tab.


4 

Click Create and choose an encryption type. The PSK is created.

The PSK will be automatically distributed to all the associated sites in the Connectivity Association.


5 

Close the forms.
