association request to the access point. For mixed-mode operation, the cipher used for broadcast frames is always TKIP. WEP encryption is not allowed.

•The “required” option places the VAP into TKIP only mode. The “supported” option places the VAP into TKIP+AES+WEP mode. The “required” mode is used in WPA-only environments.

•The “supported” mode can be used for mixed environments with legacy WPA products, specifically WEP. (For example, WPA+WEP. The WPA2+WEP environment is not available because WPA2 does not support WEP). To place the VAP into AES only mode, use “required” and then select the “cipher-ccmp” option for the cipher-suite command.

Command Usage

•Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is implemented in this device to prevent unauthorized access to your wireless network. For more secure data transmissions, enable encryption with this command, and set at least one static WEP key with the key command.

•The WEP settings must be the same on each client in your wireless network.

•Note that WEP protects data transmitted between wireless nodes, but does not protect any transmissions over your wired network or over the Internet.

•You must enable data encryption in order to enable all types of encryption (WEP, TKIP, and AES-CCMP) in the access point.
