@vikram-nexthop Can you share more details on "Control Plane POST" ? I understand the SAI POST to check the ASIC/SecY -- but no so clear on the requirements on control plane POST |

@judyjoseph Control plane POST validates the cryptographic module used by wpa_supplicant for MKA operations, which is separate from the SAI/ASIC crypto engines, and requires independent FIPS validation too. |

| ### Enabling Control Plane POST in MACSecMgr init | ||
|
|
||
| MACSecMgr performs POST status query during process init and publishes the status in the _FIPS_MACSEC_POST_TABLE|crypto_ table. Any w. A failure will result in MACSecMgr not processing any configuration beyond this. |

some typo? "Any w. A failure"

| The design must meet the following requirements: | ||
| - In order to accommodate different forwarding ASIC architecture or SAI implementation, the design should support enabling POST at either switch level (during switch init) or at MACSec engine level (during MACSec engine init). | ||
| - Should enable control plane POST at the MACSec level. |
