Using the CLI to Configure Static WEP Shared Keys. The following
example shows how to configure the access point to use static WEP keys for
authentication and encryption. The security-suite shared-key command must
be used first to enable 802.11 shared-key authentication and enable encryp
tion. Other WEP key parameters can then be configured.
HP420(config)#interface wireless g
Enter Wireless configuration commands, one per line.
HP420(if-wireless g)#security-suite shared-key
HP420(if-wireless g)#key-length-wep 128
HP420(if-wireless g)#wep-key 2 ascii 1234512345abc
HP420(if-wireless g)#transmit-key-wep 2
HP420(if-wireless g)#
The following example shows how to configure the access point to use static
WEP keys for encryption only.
HP420(if-wireless g)#security-suite 2
HP420(if-wireless g)#key-length-wep 128
HP420(if-wireless g)#wep-key 2 ascii 1234512345abc
HP420(if-wireless g)#transmit-key-wep 2
HP420(if-wireless g)#
Or, you can configure static WEP encryption keys without using the security-
suite command wizard option.
HP420(if-wireless g)#security-suite open-system wpa-disabled
802.1x-disabled
HP420(if-wireless g)#key-length-wep 128
HP420(if-wireless g)#wep-key 2 ascii 1234512345abc
HP420(if-wireless g)#transmit-key-wep 2
HP420(if-wireless g)#
Using the CLI to Configure WPA-PSK Mode. To configure the access
point to operate in WPA-PSK mode, use the security-suite command wizard
option 3 for AES encryption, or option 4 for TKIP encryption. Then set the key
value using the wpa-preshared-key command.
