Configuring Encryption
The EtherHaul supports 128bit and 256bit AES encryption with Static key. This means
that the encryption key (32/64 characters long) must be inserted manually into both
ends of the link. If there is an encryption mismatch, traffic will not go over the link.
The encryption license must be enabled in order to configure encryption. The EtherHaul
system supports AES encryption protocol, which is capable of delivering encrypted
transmission over the link.
