Setting static WEP key values

WSS Software supports dynamic WEP automatically. To enable static WEP, 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, WSS Software 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-index num 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:
WSS# set service-profile rp1 wep key-index 1 key aabbccddee
success: change accepted.
