How to Configure WLAN Security
Configuring Static WEP + 802.1X Layer 2 Security Parameters (CLI)
Before You Begin
You must have administrator privileges.
SUMMARY STEPS
1.
configure terminal
2.
wlan profile-name
3.
security static-wep-key {authentication {open | sharedkey} | encryption {104 | 40} [ascii | hex] {0|8}}
wep-key wep-key-index1-4
4.
end
DETAILED STEPS
PurposeCommand or Action
Enters global configuration mode.configure terminal
Example:
Switch# configure terminal
Step 1
Enters the WLAN configuration submode. The profile-name is the profile
name of the configured WLAN.
wlan profile-name
Example:
Switch# wlan test4
Step 2
Configures static WEP security on a WLAN. The keywords and
arguments are as follows:
security static-wep-key {authentication
{open | sharedkey} | encryption {104 | 40}
[ascii | hex] {0|8}} wep-key wep-key-index1-4
Step 3
• authentication—Configures 802.11 authentication.
Example:
Switch(config-wlan)# security
static-wep-key encryption 40 hex 0 test
2
• encryption—Sets the static WEP keys and indices.
• open—Configures open system authentication.
• sharedkey—Configures shared key authentication.
• 104, 40—Specifies the WEP key size.
• hex, ascii—Specifies the input format of the key.
• wep-key-index , wep-key-index1-4—Type of password that follows.
A value of 0 indicates that an unencrypted password follows. A
value of 8 indicates that an AES encrypted follows.
