Worked on enhancing MACsec support in the sonic-net/sonic-buildimage and sonic-net/sonic-sairedis repositories, focusing on operational visibility and reliability. Delivered a new CLI option in Python to display FIPS POST status for MACsec modules by integrating with the state database, accompanied by comprehensive unit tests for various ASIC configurations. Addressed MACsec interface creation failures in C++ by implementing a two-step workflow for send_sci handling, reducing misconfiguration risks across VM and VS environments. Emphasized robust testing and syslog verification to ensure correct interface states, contributing to improved deployment reliability and maintainability for network automation and system programming scenarios.

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.
