Wireless Security Configuration
Manual Configuration Using the CLI
The following commands set the security to a shared-key authentication
protocol.
Note Supported authentications are: Open System, Shared Key, or both.
Caution Shared Key mode is seriously flawed, in that it uses the static WEP encryption
key (transmitted openly) for station authentication. This allows the WEP
encryption key to be easily discovered by anyone who might eavesdrop on the
wireless network. If static WEP is configured, it is recommended that you
select Open System authentication.
Using the CLI to Configure Dynamic WEP. The following example
shows how to configure a WLAN (BSS/SSID) interface to use Dynamic WEP
as the security mode, configure an external authentication server, and set the
RADIUS key (the RADIUS key is automatically provided if you are using the
built-in authentication server).
Note Supported authentication servers are the built-in authentication server on the
access point or an external RADIUS server. The RADIUS key value is used
with an external RADIUS server only and is ignored for the internal RADIUS
server. It should be set to the shared secret key that is configured on the
external RADIUS server.
