Item Description
Cipher Suite
Encryption mechanisms supported by the wireless service, which can be:
•
AES-CCMP—Encryption mechanism based on the AES encryption algorithm.
•
TKIP—Encryption mechanism based on the RC4 algorithm and dynamic key
management.
•
AES-CCMP and TKIP—It indicates that you can select both CCMP and TKIP
encryption.
Security IE
Wireless service type (IE information carried in the beacon or probe response
frame):
•
WPA—Wi-Fi Protected Access.
•
RSN—An RSN is a security network that allows only the creation of robust
security network associations (RSNAs). It provides greater protection than WEP
and WPA.
•
WPA and RSN—It indicates that you can select both WPA and RSN..
Encryption
Provide Key
Automatically
•
Enable—A WEP key is dynamically assigned.
•
Disable—A static WEP key is used.
By default, a static WEP key is used.
When you enable this function, the WEP option is automatically set to wep104.
IMPORTANT:
•
This function must be used together with 802.1X authentication.
•
With dynamic WEP encryption configured, the WEP key used to encrypt unicast
frames is negotiated between client and server. If the WEP default key is
configured, the WEP default key is used to encrypt multicast frames. If not, the
device randomly generates a multicast WEP key.
WEP
•
wep40—Indicates the WEP40 key option.
•
wep104—Indicates the WEP104 key option.
•
wep128—Indicates the WEP128 key option.
Key ID
•
1—Key index 1.
•
2—Key index 2.
•
3—Key index 3.
•
4—Key index 4.
There are 4 static keys in WEP. The key index can be 1, 2, 3 or 4. The key
corresponding to the specified key index will be used for encrypting and
decrypting broadcast and multicast frames.
Key Length
Key length.
•
For wep40, the key is a string of 5 alphanumeric characters or a 10-digit
hexadecimal number.
•
For wep104, the key is a string of 13 alphanumeric characters or a 26-digit
hexadecimal number.
•
For wep128, the key is a string of 16 alphanumeric characters or a 32-digit
hexadecimal number.
WEP Key
