Command Line Interface

Command Usage

To enable Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP), use the authentication command to select the “shared key” authentication type, use the encryption command to specify the key length, and use the key command to configure at least one key.

If WEP is enabled, all wireless clients must be configured with the same shared keys to communicate with the access point.

The encryption length specified in the encryption command and the key command must match.

The encryption index, length and type configured in the access point must match those configured in the clients.

Example

SMC-AP(if-wireless g)#key 1 64 hex 1234512345 SMC-AP(if-wireless g)#key 2 64 ascii asdei SMC-AP(if-wireless g)#key 3 128 hex
