transmit-key
This command sets which of the keys defined for this Access Point to use for encrypting data
frames broadcast or multicast from the access point to wireless clients.
Syntax
transmit-key <index>
index is the key index. Range: 1‐4
Default Setting
1
Command Mode
Interface Configuration (Wireless)
Interface Configuration (Wireless): VAP
Command Usage
• Use this command for the default interface or any of the seven VAPs configurable per radio
interface.
• If you use WEP key encryption, the access point uses the transmit key to encrypt multicast
and broadcast data signals that it sends to client devices. Other keys can be used for
decryption of data from clients.
• When using IEEE 802.1x, the access point uses a dynamic WEP key to encrypt unicast and
broadcast messages to 802.1x‐enabled clients. However, because the access point sends the
WEP keys during the 802.1x authentication process, these keys do not have to appear in the
client's WEP key list.
Example
The following example shows setting the transmit key for the default interface and a VAP.
