wireless wep [ enable disable ] show wireless wep

These commands allow you to enable, disable, or show the status of wireless WEP encryption. When enabled, WEP encryption is used for transmission and reception of wireless data. A single key is selected (see default-key) for encryption of outbound/transmitted packets. The WEP-enabled client must have the identical key, of the same length, in the identical slot (1..4) as the access point, in order to successfully receive and decrypt the packet. Similarly, the client also has a ‘default’ key that it uses to encrypt its transmissions; in order for the access point to receive the client’s data, it must likewise have the identical key, of the same length, in the same slot. For simplicity, an access point and its clients need only enter, share, and use the first key.

wireless default-keyid [ 1..4 ] show wireless default-keyid

These commands allow you to specify or show which key is used for encrypting data.

wireless wep encpt-key [ 1..4 ] hex_string no wireless wep encpt-key hex_string show wireless wep encpt-key [ 1..4 ]

These commands allow you to specify or show the encryption keys (1 through 4) in hexadecimal. Keys are entered using hexadecimal digits. For 40/64bit encryption, 10 digits are needed; 26 digits for 128bit, and 58 digits for 256bit WEP. Valid hexadecimal characters are 0 – 9, a – f. The no command will reset encryption key [ hex_string ] to zero.

Examples:

• 40bit: 02468ACE02

•128bit: 0123456789ABCDEF0123456789

•256bit: 592CA140F0A238B0C61AE162F592CA140F0A238B0C61AE162F21A09C

wireless mac-auth [ yes no ] show wireless mac-auth

These commands allow you to enable, disable, or show the status of MAC authentication. Enabling this feature will limit access to the wireless LAN to specific MAC addresses listed with this option. By default, no addresses start in the table.

wireless mac-allow MAC_address no wireless mac-allow MAC_address show wireless mac-allow

These commands allow you to specify, show, or reset to zero MAC addresses that will be allowed to participate in the WLAN.

wireless mac-deny MAC_address no wireless mac-deny MAC_address show wireless mac-deny

These commands allow you to specify, show, or reset to zero MAC addresses that will be blocked from participating in the WLAN.
