z In open system authentication mode, a WEP key is used for encryption only. A client can go online
without having the same key as the authenticator. But, if the receiver has a different key from the
sender, it will discard the packets received from the sender.
z In shared key authentication mode, the WEP key is used for both encryption and authentication. If
the key of a client is different from that of the authenticator, the client cannot go online.
Follow these steps to configure static WEP encryption:
To do… Use the command… Remarks
Enter system view system-view —
Enter WLAN service template
wlan service-template
service-template-number crypto
—
Enable the cipher suite
cipher-suite { wep40 | wep104 |
wep128 }
Required
Configure the WEP default keys
wep default-key { 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 }
{ wep40 | wep104 | wep128 }
{ pass-phrase | raw-key } [ cipher
| simple ] key
Required
Not configured by default.
Configure the WEP key ID wep key-id { 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 }
Required
The default key ID is 1.
2) Configure dynamic WEP encryption
Follow these steps to configure dynamic WEP encryption:
To do… Use the command… Remarks
Enter system view system-view —
Enter WLAN service
template view
wlan service-template
service-template-number
crypto
—
Enable dynamic WEP
encryption
wep mode dynamic
Required
By default, static WEP encryption is adopted.
Dynamic WEP encryption must be used
together with 802.1X authentication.
Enable the WEP cipher suite
cipher-suite { wep40 |
wep104 | wep128 }
Optional
With dynamic WEP encryption configured, the
device automatically uses the WEP 104 cipher
suite. To change the encryption method, use
the cipher-suite command.
Configure the WEP default
key
wep default-key { 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 }
{ wep40 | wep104 | wep128 }
{ pass-phrase | raw-key } key
Optional
No WEP default key is configured by default.
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.
Specify a key index number wep key-id { 1 | 2 | 3 }
Optional
By default, the key index number is 1.
For dynamic WEP encryption, the WEP key ID
cannot be configured as 4.
