Table 4-2 displays the names that this management and configuration guide
uses for combinations of authentication and encryption options.
Table 4-2. Encryption and Authentication Options
Configuring Static WEP Encryption (No Authentication). If you
enable WEP encryption without authentication, WEP keys both encrypt wire-
less traffic and provide rudimentary authentication. You set the WEP key
manually; wireless users must enter the same key before they can connect to
the WLAN. This security option is sometimes called static WEP because you
set the key manually.
