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
USR5453-AP#
set interface wlan0 wep-key-1 abcde
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:
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:
USR5453-AP#
get interface wlan0 security
static-wep
The following command gets details on how the internal network is configured, including details on
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.
