Configuring WEP 301

Setting Static WEP MSS supports dynamic WEP automatically. To enable static WEP,

Key Values configure WEP keys and assign them to unicast and multicast traffic. You can set the values of the four static WEP keys, then specify which of the keys to use for encrypting multicast frames and unicast frames. If you do this, MSS continues to support dynamic WEP in addition to static WEP.

To set the value of a WEP key, use the following command:

set service-profile name wep key-index num key value

The key-indexnum parameter specifies the index you are configuring.

You can specify a value from 1 through 4.

The key value parameter specifies the hexadecimal value of the key. Type a 10-character ASCII string (representing a 5-byte hexadecimal number) or type a 26-character ASCII string (representing a 13-byte hexadecimal number). You can use numbers or letters. ASCII characters in the following ranges are supported:

„0 to 9

„A to F

„a to f

To configure WEP key index 1 for radio profile rp1 to aabbccddee, type the following command:

WX1200# set service-profile rp1 wep key-index 1 key aabbccddee

success: change accepted.

Assigning Static WEP When static WEP is enabled, static WEP key 1 is assigned to unicast and Keys multicast traffic by default. To assign another key to unicast or multicast

traffic, use the following commands:

set service-profile name wep active-multicast-index num set service-profile name wep active-unicast-index num

The num parameter specifies the key and the value can be from 1 to 4.

To configure an SSID that uses service profile wepsrvc to use WEP key index 2 for encrypting multicast traffic, type the following command:

WX1200# set service-profile wepsrvc wep active-multicast-index 2

success: change accepted.
