We are looking for small managed L2 or L3 switches which are able to connect different VLANs of two remote branches via a direct fiber connection (SFP port) and which are able to directly encrypt the layer 2 traffic via MACsec (IEEE 802.1AE). Does Zyxel offer such switches? I'm not able to find any.

    Hi @USG_User ,

    Currently, we do not support MACsec.

    Could you explain your reasons for needing data encryption? Is it because the branches belong to different companies, or are there other considerations?

    Also, could you tell us about your business scale? How many branches and switches will need this feature?
