Nortel Networks 2300 manual Encryption for Dynamic and Static WEP

210Configuring User Encryption

This section describes how to configure and assign static WEP keys. (To change other key-related settings, see “Managing 802.1X Encryption Keys” on page 491.)

Figure 5 shows an example of a radio configured to provide static and dynamic WEP encryption for non-WPA clients. The radio uses dynamically generated keys to encrypt traffic for dynamic WEP clients. The radio also encrypts traffic for static WEP clients whose keys match the keys configured on the radio.
