This command sets the keys used for WEP and AES encryption. Use the no form to
delete a configured key.
Syntax
key { wep < index size type wep - value > | wdsaes < port-id aes-value >}
no key { wep < index > | wdsaes }
• wep - The keyword that specifies a WEP encryption key.
- index - Key index. (Range: 1-4)
- size - Key size. (Options: 64, 128, or 152 bits)
- type - Input format. (Options: ASCII, HEX)
- wep-value - The WEP key string. For ASCII input, use 5/13/16
alphanumeric characters for 64/128/152 bit keys. For HEX input, use 10/
26/32 hexadecimal digits for 64/128/152 bit keys.
• wdsaes - The keyword that specifies an AES encryption key
- port-id - The ID for the wireless port on the bridge. For Slave units, the ID
is 1. For Master units, the ID can be from 1 to 16.
- aes-value - The AES key string. For alphanumeric input, use 8 to 31
characters. For hexadecimal input, use exactly 32 digits.

Command Usage
• To enable WEP encryption, use the encryption command to specify the
key type and length, and use the key command to configure at least one
key.
• To enable AES encryption, use the encryption command to specify the key
type, and use the key command to configure a key for each wireless port.
• If WEP is enabled, all units in the wireless bridge network must be
configured with the same keys.
• The WEP key length specified in the encryption command and the key
command must match.
• The WEP key index, length and type configured on the local wireless bridge
must match those configured on other wireless bridges.
