CONFIG Commands
set wireless multi-ssid second-ssid-wepkey { hexadecimal digits }
set wireless multi-ssid third-ssid-wepkey { hexadecimal digits }
set wireless multi-ssid fourth-ssid-wepkey { hexadecimal digits }
Specifies a WEP key for the multiple SSIDs, when second-, third-, or fourth-ssid-privacy
is set to WEP. For 40/64bit encryption, you need 10 digits; 26 digits for 128bit, and 58
digits for 256bit WEP. Valid hexadecimal characters are 0 – 9, a – f.
set wireless no-bridging [ off | on ]
When set to on, this will block wireless clients from communicating with other wireless cli-
ents on the LAN side of the Gateway.
set wireless tx-power [ full | medium | fair | low | minimal ]
Sets the wireless transmit power, scaling down the router's wireless transmit coverage by
lowering its radio power output. Default is full power. Transmit power settings are useful in
large venues with multiple wireless routers where you want to reuse channels. Since there
are only three non-overlapping channels in the 802.11b spectrum, it helps to size the
router's cell to match the location. This allows you to install a router to cover a small
“hole” without conflicting with other routers nearby.
Wireless Privacy Settings
set wireless network-id privacy option { off | WEP | WPA-PSK |
WPA-802.1x }
Specifies the type of privacy enabled on the wireless LAN. off = no privacy; WEP = WEP
encr yption; WPA-PSK = Wireless Protected Access/Pre-Shared Key; WPA-802.1x = Wireless
Protected Access/802.1x authentication. See
“Wireless” on page 53 for a discussion of
these options.
WPA provides Wireless Protected Access, the most secure option for your wireless net-
work. This mechanism provides the best data protection and access control. PSK requires
a Pre-Shared Key; 802.1x requires a RADIUS ser ver for authentication.
WEP is Wired Equivalent Privacy, a method of encr ypting data between the wireless Gate-
way and its clients. It is strongly recommended to turn this
on as it is the primary way to
