Configuring cipher suite
A cipher suite is used for data encapsulation and de-encapsulation. It uses the following encryption
methods:
• WEP40/WEP104/WEP128
• TKIP
• AES-CCMP
Configuring WEP cipher suite
The WEP encryption mechanism requires that the authenticator and clients on a WLAN have the same
key configured. WEP adopts the RC4 algorithm (a stream encryption algorithm), supporting WEP40,
WEP104 and WEP128 keys.
You can use WEP with either open system or shared key authentication mode:
• In open system authentication mode, the WEP key is used for encryption only and not for
authentication. A client can access the network without having the same key as the authenticator.
However, if the receiver has a different key from the sender, it discards the packets received from the
sender.
• In shared key authentication mode, the WEP key is used for both encryption and authentication. If
the key of a client is different from that of the authenticator, the client cannot pass the authentication
and the access of the client is denied.

3. Enable the WEP cipher
suite.
cipher-suite { wep40 | wep104 |
wep128 }
By default, no cipher suite is
selected.
4. Configure the WEP default
key.
wep default-key { 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 }
{ wep40 | wep104 | wep128 }
{ pass-phrase | raw-key } [ cipher |
simple ] key
By default, the WEP default key
index number is 1.
5. Specify a key index
number.
wep key-id { 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 }
Optional.
By default, the key index number
is that configured with the wep
default-key command.
