Configuring KeyGuard Encryption

KeyGuard is a proprietary encryption method developed by Brocade Mobility. KeyGuard is Brocade
Mobility's enhancement to WEP encryption, and was developed before the finalization of WPA-TKIP.
This encryption implementation is based on the IEEE Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) standard, 802.11i.

WPA2-CCMP (not KeyGuard) offers the highest level of security among the encryption methods
available with the Mobility 7131 Access Point.

1. Select Network Configuration -> Wireless -> Security from the Mobility 7131 Access Point menu

tree.

If security policies supporting KeyGuard exist, they appear within the Security
Configuration screen. These existing policies can be used as is, or their properties edited
by clicking the Edit button. To configure a new security policy supporting KeyGuard,
continue to step 2.

2. Click the Create button to configure a new policy supporting KeyGuard.

The New Security Policy screen displays with no authentication or encryption options
selected.

Pass Key

button. The pass key can be

any alphanumeric string. The Mobility 7131 Access Point, other proprietary routers and
Brocade Mobility MUs use the algorithm to convert a string to the same hexadecimal
number. MUs without Brocade Mobility adapters need to use WEP keys manually
configured as hexadecimal numbers.

Keys #1-4

Use the

Key #1-4

hexadecimal characters in length. For WEP 128 (104-bit key), the keys are 26 hexadecimal
characters in length. Select one of these keys for activation by clicking its radio button.
