Chapter 13: Virtual Access Point (VAP)
Configuration
TR0190 Rev. B1

The WEP and WPA configuration settings for each VAP are independent. A VAP can only
support one of the encryption/authentication modes at a time, but the VAPs in the EL-500 do
not all have to use the same encryption/authentication scheme.

WEP Encryption
The VAPs can be protected with a WEP-based encryption key to prevent unauthorized users
from intercepting or spoofing traffic.
CLI
To enable WEP-based encryption, set the ‘key’ parameter in the ‘wlan
N
’ interface. The length
of the encryption key is determined by the format used to specify the ‘key’ value. Valid key
formats and the corresponding encryption type and key length are listed in Table 11.
If WPA is enabled for an interface (‘wpa.enable’ CLI parameter in the ‘wlan
N
’
interfaces), the WPA settings will be used for encryption and authentication
and the ‘key’ value used to enable WEP will be ignored.
