Wireless Interface Commands
•AES has been designated by the National Institute of Standards and Technology as the successor to the Data Encryption Standard (DES) encryption algorithm, and will be used by the U.S. government for encrypting all sensitive, nonclassified information. Because of its strength, and resistance to attack, AES is also being incorporated as part of the 802.11 standard.
•The WEP settings must be the same on all bridges in your wireless network.
•The WEP encryption length specified in the encryption command and the key command must match.
•The AES keys must match for each wireless bridge link pair.
•The AES key type value entered using the key command must be the same as the type specified in the encryption command.
•Note that encryption protects data transmitted between wireless nodes, but does not protect any transmissions over your wired network or over the Internet.
