To configure WEP 128:

1. From the Mobility 7131 Quick Setup screen, click the Create

button to the right

of the Security Policy item.

The New Security Policy screen displays with the Manually Pre-shared key/No
authentication and No Encryption options selected. Naming and saving such a
policy (as is) would provide no security and might only make sense in a guest
network wherein no sensitive data is either transmitted or received.
Consequently, at a minimum, a basic security scheme (in this case WEP 128) is
recommended.

NOTE

For information on configuring the other (more sophisticated) encryption and
authentication options available to the Mobility 7131, refer to the Mobility 7131
Product Reference Guide. The guide is available at

http://www.brocade.com/support/

2. Ensure the Name of the security policy entered suits the intended configuration

or function of the policy.

Multiple WLANs can share the same security policy, so be careful not to name
security policies after specific WLANs or risk defining a WLAN to single policy.
Brocade recommends naming the policy after the attributes of the
authentication or encryption type selected.

3. Select the WEP 128 (104 bit key)

checkbox.The WEP 128 Setting

field displays

within the New Security Policy screen.
