Special Characters Accepted in WEP Plaintext Key
While configuring the WEP Plaintext key, the following characters are accepted in the CLI and are also
stored as part of the key:
* - (hyphen)
* _ (underscore)
* . (dot)
For example,
eg.con sec open64wep wep key add 0 plaintext a-_.. would be an accepted key.
The following character is accepted in the CLI but is not stored as part of the key:
* # (hash)
For example,
eg.con sec open64wep wep key add 0 plaintext a-_..############ is accepted
by the switch, but is seen as identical to the previous example.
The following characters are rejected in the CLI:
* ~'@$%^&*()+={[}]|\:;"'<,>?/
For example,
eg.# con sec open64wep wep key add 0 plaintext abcd' generates a syntax error
at the
' character.
