KeyGuard Deployment Considerations

Keyguard

Before defining a Keyguard configuration on a WLAN, refer to the following deployment guidelines
to ensure the configuration is optimally effective:

Generate Keys

Specify a 4 to 32 character Pass Key and click the Generate button. The pass key can be
any alphanumeric string. Brocade clients use the algorithm to convert an ASCII string to the
same hexadecimal number. Clients without Brocade adapters need to use keys manually
configured as hexadecimal numbers.

Keys 1-4

Use the Key #1-4 areas to specify key numbers. For Keyguard (104-bit key), the keys are 26
hexadecimal characters in length. Select one of these keys for default activation by clicking
its radio button. Selecting Show displays a key in exposed plain text.

Restore Default WEP Keys

If you feel it necessary to restore the Keyguard algorithm back to its default settings, click
the Restore Default WEP Keys button. This may be the case if the latest defined algorithm
has been compromised and no longer provides its former measure of data security.
