	Example:
	Router(config)# interface dot11radio 0
	Router(config-if)#
Step 2
	broadcast-key [[vlan vlan-id]change secs]	Specifies the time interval (in seconds) between
	[membership-termination][capability-change]	rotations of the broadcast encryption key used
		for clients.
	Example:	Note Client devices using static Wired
	Router(config-if)#broadcast-key vlan 1	Equivalent Privacy (WEP) cannot use
