WEP Keys
The WEP key you use to transmit data must be set up exactly the same on the
wireless device and any associated wireless devices. For example, if you set WEP
Key 3 on your client adapter to 0987654321 and select it as the transmit key, you
must set WEP Key 3 on the wireless device to exactly the same value. The wireless
device does not need to use Key 3 as its transmit key, however.
See Configuring Cipher Suites and WEP on page 343 for instructions on setting
the wireless device’s WEP keys.
Security Settings
Wireless clients attempting to authenticate with the wireless device must support
the same security options configured in the wireless device, such as EAP or
LEAP, MAC address authentication, Message Integrity Check (MIC), WEP key
hashing, and 802.1X protocol versions.
If your radio clients are using EAP-FAST authentication, you must configure
open authentication with EAP. If you don’t configure open authentication with
EAP, a warning message appears. If you are using CLI, the following warning
appears:
SSID CONFIG WARNING: [SSID]: If radio clients are using EAP-
FAST, AUTH OPEN with EAP can also be configured.
If you are using the GUI, this warning message appears:
WARNING:
Network EAP is used only for LEAP authentication. If radio clients are
configured to authenticate by using EAP-FAST, Open Authentication
with EAP can also be configured.”
If a wireless client is unable to authenticate with the wireless device, contact the
system administrator for proper security settings in the client adapter and for the
client adapter driver and firmware versions that are compatible with the wireless
device settings.
TIP The wireless device MAC address that appears on the Status page in the
Aironet Client Utility (ACU) is the MAC address for the wireless device radio. The
MAC address for the access point Ethernet port is printed on the label on the
back of the access point.
