set service-profile cipher-wep40

Enables dynamic Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) with 40-bit keys, in a service profile.

Syntax

set service-profile name cipher-wep40 {enable | disable}

Defaults

40-bit WEP encryption is disabled by default.

Access

Enabled.

History

Introduced in WSS Software Version 3.0.

Usage

To use 40-bit WEP with WPA clients, you must also enable the WPA IE.

When 40-bit WEP in WPA is enabled in the service profile, radios managed by a radio profile that is mapped to the

service profile can also support non-WPA clients that use dynamic WEP.

To support WPA clients that use 104-bit dynamic WEP, you must enable WEP with 104-bit keys in the service profile.

Use the set service-profile cipher-wep104 command.

Microsoft Windows XP does not support WEP with WPA. To configure a service profile to provide dynamic WEP for

XP clients, leave WPA disabled and use the set service-profile wep commands.

To support non-WPA clients that use static WEP, you must configure static WEP keys. Use the set service-profile wep

key-index command.

Examples

The following command configures service profile sp2 to use 40-bit WEP encryption:

WSS# set service-profile sp2 cipher-wep40 enable

success: change accepted.
