In this example, you will set the Key Type to ASCII:

USR5453-AP#set interface wlan0 wep-key-ascii yes

5. Set the WEP Keys

Note

The number of characters required for each WEP key depends on how you set Key Length and Key Type:

•If Key Length is 40 bits and the Key Type is "ASCII", then each WEP key be 5 characters long.

•If Key Length is 40 bits and Key Type is "Hex", then each WEP key must be 10 characters long.

•If Key Length is 104 bits and Key Type is "ASCII", then each WEP Key must be 13 characters long.

•If Key Length is 104 bits and Key Type is "Hex", then each WEP Key must be 26 characters long.

Although the CLI will allow you to enter WEP keys of any number of characters, you must use the cor- rect number of characters for each key to ensure a valid security configuration.

USR5453-AP#set interface wlan0 wep-key-2 fghi

USR5453-AP#set interface wlan0 wep-key-3 klmno

USR5453-AP#set interface wlan0 wep-key-4

6. Set the Authentication Algorithm

The options for the authentication algorithm are Open System, Shared Key or Both:

To set Authentication Algorithm	set bss wlan0bssInternal open-system-authentication on
to Open System:
	set bss wlan0bssInternal shared-key-authentication off
To set Authentication Algorithm	set bss wlan0bssInternal open-system-authentication off
to Shared Key:
	set bss wlan0bssInternal shared-key-authentication on
To set Authentication Algorithm	set bss wlan0bssInternal open-system-authentication on
to Both:
	set bss wlan0bssInternal shared-key-authentication on

In this example, you will set the authentication algorithm to Shared Key:

USR5453-AP#set bss wlan0bssInternal shared-key-authentication on USR5453-AP#set bss wlan0bssInternal open-system-authentication off

7. Get Current Security Settings After Re-Configuring to Static WEP Security Mode

Now you can use the "get" command again to view the updated security configuration and see the results of your new settings.

The following command gets the security mode in use on the Internal network:
