Securing VXLAN with MACsec on MikroTik RouterOS
In today’s interconnected world, securing network traffic is more critical than ever. Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN) extends Layer 2 networks over Layer 3 infrastructure, enabling flexible virtualization. However, without encryption, VXLAN traffic remains vulnerable to interception. Media Access Control Security (MACsec), a Layer 2 encryption protocol, offers a robust solution to protect this traffic. By… Read more…

Layer 2 Security with MACsec: Implementing It on MikroTik RouterOS
In today’s interconnected world, securing network traffic is more critical than ever. While many focus on higher-layer protections like firewalls or VPNs, securing the data link layer—Layer 2—often gets overlooked. This is where MACsec (Media Access Control Security) steps in, offering robust encryption and authentication for Ethernet frames. Specifically, MACsec ensures that data traveling between… Read more…
