Chapter 4 Security Setup
Setting Up WEP
The three settings in the pull-down menu include:
•
No Encryption (default)—The access point communicates only with client
devices that are not using WEP. Use this option to disable WEP.
•
Optional—Client devices can communicate with the access point either with
or without WEP.
Note
If you select Optional, Cisco Aironet client devices associating to the
access point must be configured to allow association to mixed cells.
See the
Cisco Aironet Wireless LAN Adapters Software Configuration
Guide
for instructions on configuring Cisco Aironet client devices.
•
Full Encryption—Client devices must use WEP when communicating with
the access point. Devices not using WEP are not allowed to communicate.
Note
You must select Full Encryption to enable Message Integrity Check
(MIC). See the
“Enabling Message Integrity Check (MIC)” section on
page 4-14
for instructions on setting up MIC.
Step 6
Click
OK
. You return automatically to the Security Setup page.
Using SNMP to Set Up WEP
You can use SNMP to set the WEP level on the access point. Consult the
“Using
SNMP” section on page 2-10
for details on using SNMP.
Access points use the following SNMP variables to set the WEP level:
•
dot11ExcludeUnencrypted.2
•
awcDot11AllowEncrypted.2
Table 4-2
lists the SNMP variable settings and the corresponding WEP levels.
