To start with the most basic of what I ponder over - basic in my
mind though I get, that it does not have to be that or
simple/obvious - is MACSEC with 'bond' as parent or in other words:
macsec "on" a 'bond' network interface.
Should such a "thing" work, does it work?
My understanding is that you do MACsec on physical interfaces, so you
would configure it on each member of a LAG, not the virtual LAG
interface (e.g. bond0) itself.

So I started from the bottom, went to do 'macsec' physical eth interfaces but when under 'bond' in "broadcast" I got NM failing to set such macsec ifaces up:
...
<info>  [1686137957.1794] device (macsec-ten-bott): supplicant interface state: disconnected -> completed <info>  [1686137957.1829] device (macsec-ten-bott): carrier: link connected <info>  [1686137957.1829] device (macsec-ten-bott): Activation: Stage 2 of 5 (Device Configure) successful. <info>  [1686137957.2081] device (macsec-ten-bott): state change: config -> ip-config (reason 'none', sys-iface-state: 'managed') <warn>  [1686137957.2149] device (macsec-ten-bott): Activation: connection 'macsec-10.1.1-slave-bott' could not be enslaved <info>  [1686137957.2150] device (macsec-ten-bott): state change: ip-config -> failed (reason 'unknown', sys-iface-state: 'managed') <info>  [1686137957.2152] device (macsec-ten-bott): released from master device bond-1011 <warn>  [1686137957.2153] device (macsec-ten-bott): Activation: failed for connection 'macsec-10.1.1-slave-bott' <info>  [1686137957.2156] device (macsec-ten-bott): state change: failed -> disconnected (reason 'none', sys-iface-state: 'managed') <info>  [1686137957.2402] device (macsec-ten-bott): state change: disconnected -> unmanaged (reason 'user-requested', sys-iface-state: 'managed')

And to share what I find - obvious to those with expertise - that 'macsec' "on" a bond iface (broadcast mode is my case!) works, or seems to work I shall add as it's less than 1hr of my fiddling.

But I'd rather see physical MACs "macseced" and then these being bonded/bridged - as going to the lowest layer/device in a stack puts my mind at ease the best.
I should add - I do all that in Centos 9.

thanks, L.
