Moving and swapping Mac Sec Module

[prodigy811]

Hi there,

I need to move Mac Sec Modules (JH957A)from to different slots in different switches. Are these hot swappable or will I need to power down Switches and replace before powering back up?

I look forward to hearing back,

Regards

Hi @prodigy811 !

What is the switch model/-s you are going to use?

Hello Ivan again

I will be looking at both the 5510s and 5945s

Hello @prodigy811 !

On 5945 you have a restriction, check it here https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/docDisplay?docLocale=en_US&docId=a00070797en_us , page 626:

An interface module is not hot swappable if it has MACsec-capable ports with MACsec enabled.

As for 5510-HI, seems like those do not support JH957A LSWM18CQMSEC modules at all. I've checked Quickspecs, latest release notes - this module is not mentioned among compatible ones.
