This option enables broadcast key rotation by setting a key rotation interval. With
broadcast, or multicast, WEP key rotation enabled, the access point provides a
dynamic broadcast WEP key and changes it at the interval you select. Broadcast
key rotation is an excellent alternative to TKIP if your wireless LAN supports
wireless client devices that are not Cisco devices or that cannot be upgraded to the
latest firmware for Cisco client devices.
To enable broadcast key rotation, enter the rotation interval in seconds in the
Broadcast WEP Key rotation interval entry field. If you enter 900, for example,
the access point sends a new broadcast WEP key to all associated client devices
every 15 minutes. To disable broadcast WEP key rotation, enter 0.
When you enable broadcast key rotation, only wireless client devices using LEAP
or EAP-TLS authentication can use the access point. Client devices using static
WEP (with open, shared key, or EAP-MD5 authentication) cannot use the access
point when you enable broadcast key rotation.
This setting is used on bridges to adjust the bridges' timeout values to account for
the time required for radio signals to travel from bridge to bridge. This setting is
not used on access points.
Select Open, Shared Key, or Network-EAP to set the authentications the access
point recognizes. See the
description of authentication types.
If you use open or shared authentication as well as EAP authentication, select
Require EAP under Open or Shared to block client devices that are not using
EAP from authenticating through the access point.
