Table 264: Static WEP

Description
Static WEP uses static key management. You manually configure the same keys to encrypt
data on both the wireless client and the AP. Dynamic WEP (WEP IEEE 802.1X) uses
dynamically generated keys to encrypt client-to- AP traffic. Dynamic WEP is more secure than
Static WEP, but you need a RADIUS server to manage the keys.
If you select WEP IEEE 802.1X, the screen refreshes, and there are no more fields to
configure. The AP uses the global RADIUS server or the RADIUS server you specify for the
wireless network.
For information about how to configure the global RADIUS server settings on the Unified
Switch, see "Wireless Global Configuration" on page
Choose the authentication type:
• Open System: No authentication is performed.
• Shared Key: Provides a rudimentary form of user authentication, which many experts
consider to be less secure than Open System since it sends the WEP key to the client in plain
text.
• Both: Only WEP clients are authenticated.
Select the key type by clicking one of the radio buttons:
• ASCII: Includes upper and lower case alphabetic letters, the numeric digits, and special
symbols such as @ and #.
• Hex: Includes digits 0 to 9 and the letters A to F.
