The WEP and WPA configuration settings for each access point are independent. An access
point can only support one of the encryption/authentication modes at a time, but the APs in the
EnRoute500 do not all have to use the same encryption/authentication scheme.
Figure 35. Access point authentication and encryption settings
9.8.1 WEP Encryption
The access points can be protected with a WEP-based encryption key to prevent unauthorized
users from intercepting or spoofing traffic.
CLI
To enable WEP-based encryption, set the „key‟ parameter in the „wlanN‟ interface. The length
of the encryption key is determined by the format used to specify the „key‟ value. Valid key
formats and the corresponding encryption type and key length are listed in Table 11.
If WPA is enabled for an interface („wpa.enable‟ CLI parameter in the „wlanN‟
interfaces), the WPA settings will be used for encryption and authentication and the
„key‟ value used to enable WEP will be ignored.
