Using the CLI to Configure Static WEP Shared Keys. The following
example shows how to configure an SSID interface to use static WEP keys for
authentication and encryption. These commands enable security and estab-
lish the transfer key index (set to 4).
ProCurve Access Point 530# configure
ProCurve Access Point 530(config)# radio 1
ProCurve Access Point 530(radio1)# wlan 1
ProCurve Access Point 530(radio1-wlan1)#security static-wep
ProCurve Access Point 530(radio1-wlan1)#wep-default-key 4
ProCurve Access Point 530(radio1-wlan1)#
The following commands set the WEP key to an ASCII type and set the key
length.
Using the [no] version of the wep-key-ascii command sets the key type to
Hex.
You can set the wep-key-length to 64 or 128.
ProCurve Access Point 530(radio1-wlan1)#wep-key-ascii
ProCurve Access Point 530(radio1-wlan1)#wep-key-length 64
ProCurve Access Point 530(radio1-wlan1)#wep-key-4 pqrst
ProCurve Access Point 530(radio1-wlan1)#
The following commands set the actual key values for the WEP keys.
The number of characters required for each WEP key depends on the Key
Length and Key Type settings:
■ If Key Length is 64 bits and the Key Type is "ASCII", then each WEP key
must be 5 characters long.
If Key Length is 40 bits and Key Type is "Hex", then each WEP key must
■
be 10 characters long.
If Key Length is 128 bits and Key Type is "ASCII", then each WEP key must
■
be 13 characters long.
■ If Key Length is 128 bits and Key Type is "Hex", then each WEP key must
be 26 characters long.
