Configuring Cipher Suite - HP a-msr Configuration Manual

To do...
3. Enable the RSN IE in the
beacon and probe
responses.

Configuring cipher suite

A cipher suite is used for data encapsulation and de-encapsulation. It uses the following encryption methods:
 WEP40/WEP104/WEP128
 TKIP
 CCMP
Configuring WEP cipher suite
The WEP encryption mechanism requires that the authenticator and clients on a WLAN have the same key
configured. WEP adopts the RC4 algorithm (a stream encryption algorithm), supporting WEP40, WEP104
and WEP128 keys.
You can use WEP with either open system authentication mode or share the key authentication mode:
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 discards the packets received from the sender.
 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.
To configure WEP encryption:
To do...
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter WLAN service
template view.
3. Enable the WEP cipher suite.
4. Configure the WEP default
key.
5. Specify a key index number.
Configuring TKIP cipher suite
To configure the TKIP cipher suite:
To do...
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter WLAN service
template view.
Use the command...
security-ie rsn
Use the command...
system-view
wlan service-template
service-template-number crypto
cipher-suite { wep40 | wep104 |
wep128 }
wep default-key { 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 }
{ wep40 | wep104 | wep128 }
{ pass-phrase | raw-key } [ cipher |
simple ] key
wep key-id { 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 }
Use the command...
system-view
wlan service-template
