Item Description
Provide Key
Automatically
•
Enable—A WEP key is dynamically assigned.
•
Disable—A static WEP key is used.
By default, a static WEP key is used.
When you enable this function, the WEP option is automatically set to wep104.
IMPORTANT:
•
This function must be used together with 802.1X authentication.
•
When dynamic WEP encryption is configured, the WEP key used to encrypt
unicast frames is negotiated between client and server. If the WEP default key is
configured, the WEP default key is used to encrypt multicast frames. If not, the
device randomly generates a multicast WEP key.
WEP
•
wep40—WEP40 key option.
•
wep104—WEP104 key option.
•
wep128—WEP128 key option.
Key ID
•
1—Key index 1.
•
2—Key index 2.
•
3—Key index 3.
•
4—Key index 4.
There are four static keys in WEP. The key index can be 1, 2, 3, or 4. The key for
the specified key index will be used for encrypting and decrypting broadcast and
multicast frames.
Key Length
•
For wep40, the key is a string of five alphanumeric characters or a 10-digit
hexadecimal number.
•
For wep104, the key is a string of 13 alphanumeric characters or a 26-digit
hexadecimal number.
•
For wep128, the key is a string of 16 alphanumeric characters or a 32-digit
hexadecimal number.
WEP Key
Configure the WEP key.
Port Security
.
Parameters such as authentication type and encryption type determine the port
mode. For more information, see
After you select the Cipher Suite option, the following port security modes are
added:
•
mac and psk—MAC-based authentication must be performed on access users
first. If MAC-based authentication succeeds, an access user has to use the
preconfigured PSK to negotiate with the device. Access to the port is allowed
only after the negotiation succeeds.
•
psk—An access user must use the pre-shared key (PSK) that is preconfigured to
negotiate with the device. The access to the port is allowed only after the
negotiation succeeds.
•
userlogin-secure-ext—Perform MAC-based 802.1X authentication for access
users. In this mode, the port supports multiple 802.1X users.
