Command Usage
• 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, broadcast, and multicast 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
HP420(if-wireless g)#transmit-key-wep 2
HP420(if-wireless g)#

security-suite

This command defines the mechanisms employed by the access point for
wireless security.
