mended.
• static-wep - Use a Wired Equivalent Privacy static shared key.
• dynamic-wep - Use the IEEE 802.1X port-based authentication and
infrastructure.
• wpa-psk - Use the Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) and/or WPA2 with a
pre-shared key.
• wpa-8021x - Use the Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) and/or WPA2 with

Command Usage
• When using this command to configure WPA or 802.1X for authenti-
cation and dynamic keying, you must use the open-system argument.
• Shared key authentication can only be used when a static WEP key
has been defined with the key command.
• WPA enables the access point to support different unicast encryption
keys for each client. However, the global encryption key for multicast
and broadcast traffic must be the same for all stations. This command
can set the encryption type that is used for multicast and unicast
traffic.
