Syntax

key-server-priorityvalue

no key-server-priorityvalue

Command Default

Key-server priority is set to 16. This is not displayed in configuration details.

Parameters

value: Specifies key-server priority. The possible values range from 0 to 255, where 0 is highest priority and 255 is lowest priority.

Usage Guidelines

MACsec commands are supported only on ICX 7650 and ICX 7850 devices.

The no form of the command removes the previous priority setting.

During key-server election, the server with the highest priority (the server with the lowest key-server priority value) becomes the key-server.

Examples

The following example sets the key-server priority for MKA group test1 to 5.

device(config)# dot1x-mka-enable
device(config-dot1x-mka)# mka-cfg-group test1
device(config-dot1x-mka-group-test1)# key-server-priority 5
