Configuring WPA/WPA2 using TKIP and CCMP
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is a robust encryption scheme specified in the IEEE Wireless Fidelity
(Wi-Fi) standard, 802.11i. WPA provides more sophisticated data encryption than WEP. WPA is
designed for corporate networks and small-business environments where more wireless traffic
allows quicker discovery of encryption keys by an unauthorized person.

The pass key can be any alphanumeric string. The switch and Brocade clients use the
algorithm to convert an ASCII string to the same hexadecimal number. Clients without Brocade
adapters need to use WEP keys manually configured as hexadecimal numbers.
The key can be either a hexadecimal or ASCII. The keys are 26 hexadecimal characters in
length or 13 ASCII characters. Select one of these keys for activation by clicking its radio
button.
Default (hexadecimal) keys for WEP 128 and KeyGuard include:
101112131415161718191A1B1C
202122232425262728292A2B2C

If you feel it necessary to restore the WEP algorithm back to its default settings, click the
Restore Default WEP Keys button. This may be the case if you feel that the latest defined WEP
algorithm has been compromised and no longer provides its former measure of data security.
