(21) wep
This command is used to configure the MW-1500AP(H)'s WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)
function. The current configuration status of WEP can be verified by typing the command
show
wep
at the prompt.
In order to control wireless access to the MW-1500AP(H), it must be configured to operate in
either of two types of Authentication Algorithms:
Open System
and
Shared Key
(the factory
default is
Open System
).
Open System
: The Open System authentication is null authentication. The client can
associate with any AP and listen to all data that are sent plaintext (non-encrypted). This is
usually implemented where ease-of-use is the main issue, and the network administrator
does not want to deal with security at all.
Shared Key
: The Shared Key authentication approach provides a better degree of
authentication than the Open System approach. For a client to utilize Shared Key
authentication, it must implement WEP.
The following are the available commands.
wep -o [enable/disable
]
: Enable/disable the MW-1500AP(H)'s WEP function.
wep -o [key1/key2/key3/key4] <xx xx xx xx xx>
: Up to four default keys can be configured.
wep -o keylen [5/13]
: Specifies the length of the WEP key to 5 or 13 bytes.
wep -o defaultkey <number>
: Specifies which default key (1~4) will be used.
wep -o authtype <number>
: Selects to use the Open System (1) or Shared Key (2) method
of Authentication Algorithm.
wep -o intrablocking [enable / disable]
:
When set to
enable
, the MW-1500AP(H) will not
allow different clients that are connected with the same MW-1500AP(H) to see each other.
