64 Meru Radio Switch RS4000 Reference Guide
Usage These commands perform the configuration of the WiFi properties for the interface. The
interface must be specified in each of the commands and the radio interface determines the
802.11 operating mode and some associated features. For example, radio1-1 and radio1-2
operate in mode 802.11a and radio2-1 and radio2-2 operate in either 802.11bg or b modes.
A summary of the default settings for the wireless interface are as follows:
z ESSID: meru1-1 is specified for radio1-1 and meru1-2 is specified for radio1-2; meru2-
1 is specified for radio2-1 and meru2-2 is specified radio2-2
z mode: radio1-1 and radio1-2—802.11a; radio2-1 and radio2-2—802.11g
z rate: auto
z channel: 36 is set for radio1-1 and 149 radio1-2, and channel 1 is set for radio2-1 and 11
radio2-2
z short preamble: enable
z DTIM period : 1
rekey_period 0, 300-65535 Sets the interval that an 802.1X key is valid. After the
amount of time specified by seconds has elapsed, a new
key is automatically generated. Frequently changing the
key is recommended to prevent security breaches. The
default interval is 300 seconds.
When 0 is specified, rekeying is disabled and the key is
valid for the entire session, regardless of the duration.
key_len wep64 | wep128 Specifies the WEP flavor in use. If wep64 is selected,
the WEP64 protocol is used. If wep128 is selected, the
WEP128 protocol is used. By default, If wep64 is
selected.
key_index {1 | 2 | 3 | 4 } Specifies the WEP key transmit index number. Most
station WEP key configurations allow 4 keys. By
default, 1 is set.
wep_auth_mode {shared | open} Sets the WEP security mode for the interface to shared
or open. By default, shared is set. When configured to
shared, unencrypted packets are dropped at phy (before
the packet reaches the driver); when configured to
open, unencrypted packets reach the driver; but
authentication of the station fails.
