Security
Using the CLI to Configure WEP Shared Key Security
From the interface wireless or interface wireless: VAP configuration modes, use the
authentication command to enable WEP shared‐key authentication and the encryption command
to enable WEP encryption. Use the cipher ‐suite command to select WEP cipher type for
broadcasting and multicasting. To enter WEP keys, use the key command (from the interface
wireless mode only), and then set one key as the transmit key using the transmit‐key command. If
necessary, disable 802.1x port authentication with the no 802.1x command.
Examples
RoamAbout 4102#configure
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CTRL/Z
RoamAbout 4102(config)#interface wireless g
Enter Wireless configuration commands, one per line.
RoamAbout 4102(if-wireless g)#authentication shared
RoamAbout 4102(if-wireless g)#encryption
RoamAbout 4102(if-wireless g)#cipher-suite wep
Unicast Ciphers can accept TKIP only.
Multicast Cipher is set to WEP.

4-88 Advanced Configuration
Note: The index and length values used in the key command must be the same values used in the
encryption and transmit-key commands.
