set dot1x unicast-rekey-period
Enables or disables unicast periodic rekeying with a configurable interval.
Syntax set dot1x unicast-rekey-period [integer]
Defaults None
Access Enabled
History Introduced in MSS 7.1
Usage
set dot1x wep-rekey
Enables or disables Wired Equivalency Privacy (WEP) rekeying for broadcast and multicast
encryption keys.
Syntax set dot1X wep-rekey {enable | disable}
Defaults WEP key rotation is enabled, by default.
Access Enabled.
History Introduced in MSS 1.0.
Usage Reauthentication is not required for WEP key rotation to take place. Broadcast and
multicast keys are always rotated at the same time, so all members of a given radio, VLAN, or
encryption type receive the new keys at the same time.
Examples Type the following command to disable WEP key rotation:
MX# set dot1x wep-rekey disable
success: wep rekeying disabled

set dot1x wep-rekey-period
Sets the interval for rotating the WEP broadcast and multicast keys.
Syntax set dot1x wep-rekey-period seconds
Defaults The default is 1800 seconds (30 minutes).
integer Configure an integer from 30 to 86400.
enable Causes the broadcast and multicast keys for WEP to be rotated at an interval set by
the set dot1x wep-rekey-period for each radio, associated VLAN, and encryption
type. The MX generates the new broadcast and multicast keys and pushes the keys to
the clients via EAPoL key messages.
disable WEP broadcast and multicast keys are never rotated.
seconds Specify a value between 30 and 1,641,600 (19 days).
