Fragmentation

6.11.1 Static WEP

Static WEP provides a mechanism for encrypting data using encryption keys. Both the AP and

the wireless stations must use the same WEP key to encrypt and decrypt data. Your ZyWALL

allows you to configure up to four 64-bit or 128-bit WEP keys, but only one key can be used at

any one time.

In order to configure and enable WEP encryption, click the WIRELESS LAN link to display

the Wireless screen. Select Static WEP from the Security list.

This is the threshold (number of bytes) for the fragmentation boundary for directed

messages. It is the maximum data fragment size that can be sent.

Select the check box to change the default value and enter a value between 256 and

Choose from one of the security settings listed in the drop-down box.
