Radio Interface
BreezeMAX Wi² and BreezeACCESS Wi² System Manual 111
Shared Key: Sets the access point to use WEP shared keys. If this option is
selected, you must configure at least one key on the access point and all
clients.
Encryption – Enable or disable the access point to use data encryption (WEP,
TKIP, or AES). If this option is selected when using static WEP keys, you must
configure at
least one key on the access point and all clients. (Default: Disabled)
4.6.2.2.1 CLI Commands for WEP Shared Key Security
To enable WEP shared key security for the 802.11g interface, use the interface
wireless g command from the CLI configuration mode to access the interface
mode for the 802.11g radio. First use the key command to define up to four WEP
keys that can be used for all VAP interfaces on the radio. Then use the vap
command to access each VAP interface to configure other security settings.
From the VAP interface configuration mode, use the auth command to enable
WEP shared-key authentication, which enables encryption automatically. Then
set one key as the transmit key for the VAP interface using the transmit-key
command. To view the current security settings, use the show interface wireless
g [0-3] command from the Exec mode.
4.6.2.2.2 CLI Commands for WEP over 802.1X Security
Use the vap command to access each VAP interface to configure the security
settings. First set 802.1X to required using the 802.1x command and set the
802.1X key refresh rates. Then, use the auth command to select open system
authentication and the encryption command to enable data encryption. To view
the current security settings, use the show interface wireless g [0-3] command
(not shown in example).
NOTE
To use 802.1X on wireless clients requires a network card driver and 802.1X client software that
supports the EAP authentication type that you want to use. Windows 2000 SP3 or later and
Windows XP provide 802.1X client support. Windows XP also provides native WPA support. Other
systems require additional client software to support 802.1X and WPA.
NOTE
You must enable data encryption through the web or CLI in order to enable all types of encryption
(WEP, TKIP, or AES) in the AP.
