Cisco Cisco Aironet 350 Workgroup Bridges Installationsanleitung

Type 2 to select Auth. Type open or shared_key to set the authentications the bridge will 

recognize. 

The Open setting, which is the default, allows any access point regardless of its WEP 

settings to authenticate and then attempt to communicate with the bridge. Shared Key tells 

the bridge to send a plain-text, shared-key query to any access point attempting to 

communicate with the bridge. However, this query can leave the bridge open to a 

known-text attack from intruders and is therefore not as secure as the Open setting.

If you are configuring the bridge through a wireless connection, you may 

lose your connection to the bridge if the WEP key is set incorrectly. If you select On as 

the WEP category in the next step, the WEP key you set must exactly match the WEP 

key used on your wireless LAN, and the access point with which the bridge is 

communicating must have WEP set to On.

Type 1 to select Encryption. Type off, on, mixed on, or mixed off to select the WEP category 

for the bridge.

— Off is the default setting, which means that the bridge will not communicate with an 

access point using WEP. 

— On means that the bridge will communicate only with access points that use WEP.

— Mixed  on means that the bridge will always use WEP when communicating with the 

access point but the access point will communicate with all devices whether they use 

WEP or not. 

— Mixed  off means that the bridge will not use WEP when communicating with the 

access point but the access point will communicate with all devices whether they use 

WEP or not.

Press Esc four times to return to the configuration menu.

When the configuration menu appears, type 3 to select Identity. Type 2 to select Name. 

Type a network label for the bridge and press Enter. This name will identify the bridge in 

the association table on any access point.
