• AES has been designated by the National Institute of
Standards and Technology as the successor to the Data
Encryption Standard (DES) encryption algorithm, and will
be used by the U.S. government for encrypting all sensitive,
nonclassified information. Because of its strength, and
resistance to attack, AES is also being incorporated as part
of the 802.11 standard.
• The WEP settings must be the same on all bridges in your
wireless network.
• The WEP encryption length specified in the encryption
command and the key command must match.
• The AES keys must match for each wireless bridge link pair.
• The AES key type value entered using the key command
must be the same as the type specified in the encryption
command.
• Note that encryption protects data transmitted between
wireless nodes, but does not protect any transmissions over
your wired network or over the Internet.
