My quick notes, since I just went through MACsec research recently:

MX: Only supported on MIC-3D-20GE-SFP-E

EX9200: Only supported on EX9200-40FE, and only on even numbered ports. Unclear 
if a license is needed or not.

EX4200: Only supported on ports on optional EX-UM-2X4SFP-M module. Requires 
EX-QFX-MACSEC-ACC license.

EX4300-24T/24P/48T/48P/32F: Supports MACsec on all ports (24 or 48x1G and 
4x10G). Requires EX-QFX-MACSEC-ACC license

EX4550-32F(but not 32T): Supports MACsec on all ports. Produces a fair amount 
of heat if you have all ports doing MACsec at once, possibly over the data 
sheet’s rated wattage limit - add 8W per macsec enabled port.  Requires 
EX-QFX-MACSEC-AGG (not -ACC like above) license.

EX4600: Supports MACsec on all built in ports, as well as on any EX4600-EM-8F 
modules. Only works on 10G ports though, will not work on 1G modules. Also does 
not support “switch-to-host” mode, “switch-to-switch” mode only.  Requires 
EX-QFX-MACSEC-AGG.

QFX5100-24Q: Support only on the 8 ports on an optional EX4600-EM-8F module, 
not the built in ports. 10G only. Does not support “switch-to-host” mode. 
Requires EX-QFX-MACSEC-AGG license.


They also explicitly say they don’t support MACsec on copper SFP/SFP+ modules, 
but it seems to work here.
