configure security-profile wep key add
ExtremeWare Software 7.3.0 Command Reference Guide 823
configure security-profile wep key add
configure security-profile <name> wep key add <index> [hex <hexoctet> |
plaintext <string>]
Description
Adds the given WEP key at the specified index.
Syntax Description
Default
Hex.
Usage Guidelines
This key is used for WEP encryption. If you use hex mode, then the key should be made up of hex
digits (i.e., if encryption-length is 64 the key should be 10 hex digits (64-24 (ICV) = 40bits = 5 bytes = 10
hex digits). When you specify plaintext mode, the key is simply the ASCII value of the letters in the
specified key (for example, A = 35 and so on...). Plaintext does not mean passphrase.
Configuration changes take effect immediately and are propagated to all ports sharing the named
profile. If the command fails, none of the changes is propagated to any of the ports.
Examples
The following example adds the first WEP key (0) with the hex encryption code 1234567891:
configure security-profile wep-secure wep key add 0 hex 1234567891
