Configuring WEP 64
Configuring WEP 128 / KeyGuard

Configuring WEP 64
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is a security protocol specified in the IEEE Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) standard.
WEP is designed to provide a WLAN with a level of security and privacy comparable to that of a wired LAN.
WEP 64 is a less robust encryption scheme than WEP 128 (shorter WEP algorithm for a hacker to duplicate),
but WEP 64 may be all that a small-business user needs for the simple encryption of wireless data. However,
networks that require more security are at risk from a WEP flaw. The existing 802.11 standard alone offers
administrators no effective method to update keys.
To configure WEP 64:
1. Select

2. Select an existing WLAN from those displayed within the

CHAP is an encrypted authentication method based on Microsoft's challenge/
response authentication protocol.
Optionally mark packets with a DiffServ CodePoint (DSCP) in its header. The DSCP
value is stored in the first 6 bits of the Type of Service (ToS) field that is part of the
standard IP header. The DCSP values are associated with a forwarding treatment
called Per Hop Behaviors (PHB). Service can be provisioned (if necessary) by
assigning a DCSP point code from 1 - 6.
