Vikram contributed to the sonic-net/sonic-buildimage and sonic-net/sonic-sairedis repositories, focusing on MACsec feature development and reliability improvements. He built a CLI extension to display FIPS POST status for MACsec modules by integrating with the state database, adding comprehensive unit tests for both single- and multi-ASIC deployments. In sonic-sairedis, Vikram addressed MACsec interface creation failures by implementing a two-step workflow for send_sci handling, reducing misconfiguration risks across VM and VS environments. His work leveraged C++, Python, and network automation skills, demonstrating depth in system programming, robust test coverage, and a focus on operational reliability for network security features.
January 2026 monthly summary for sonic-net/sonic-sairedis: Delivered a reliability improvement for MACsec interface creation across configurations by implementing a two-step approach to the send_sci handling. The fix addresses VM/VS edge cases where MACsec interface creation fails when send_sci is false and SCI is present, reducing misconfigurations and runtime errors for MACsec-enabled interfaces. Validated through targeted tests and syslog verification; confirmed correct TXSCI and send_sci states via ip macsec show.

October 2025 — Key feature delivered in sonic-net/sonic-buildimage: MACsec Show Command - Post Status (FIPS POST). Implemented --post-status option to display FIPS POST status for MACsec modules by reading the FIPS_MACSEC_POST_TABLE from the state database. Added unit tests covering single-ASIC and multi-ASIC deployments as well as edge cases with no POST entries. This work is associated with commit 484538adcfb01b708ca66e9625c9fcecf5f39c76 and PR #24067.
