Active PSK index

With an active PSK, a peer can support the use of one or more PSK entries identified by indexes 1 and 2. An instance of MKA operates for each PSK that is administratively configured as active.

A PSK can be created manually using the CLI.

Each PSK is configured with the following fields:

CKN
CAK value

The CKN must be unique per port among the configured subports and can be used to identify the key in subsequent management operations.

Each static CAK configuration can have two PSK entries for rollover. The active PSK index dictates the CAK that is used for encrypting the MKAPDUs. This method uses a single MKA session. Each time the active PSK is rotated, the CKN and the derived keys are replaced for the same MKA session. A new PSK does not instantiate a new MKA session.
