Select WEP Key 1 as Transmit Key for EAP Authentication
OL-2434-01
Important Notes
•
Draft 10—This is the default setting in firmware versions 11.06 and later. Select this option if
client devices that associate with this access point or bridge use Microsoft Windows XP EAP
authentication or if LEAP-enabled client devices that associate with this access point or bridge
use radio firmware version 4.25 or later. The functionality in Draft 10 is equivalent to the
functionality in Draft 11, the ratified draft of the 802.1x standard.

Click Apply or OK to apply the setting. The access point or bridge reboots.
Select WEP Key 1 as Transmit Key for EAP Authentication
If you use Network-EAP as the authentication type on your wireless network, you must select key 1 as
the transmit key on the access point or bridge AP Radio Data Encryption page. The access point or bridge
uses the WEP key you enter in key slot 1 to encrypt multicast and broadcast data signals that it sends to
EAP-enabled client devices. Because the access point or bridge transmits the WEP key used for multicast
messages to the EAP-enabled client device during the EAP authentication process, that key does not
have to appear in the EAP-enabled device’s WEP key list. The access point or bridge uses a dynamic
WEP key to encrypt unicast messages to EAP-enabled clients. When you set up a non-root bridge or
repeater access point to authenticate as a LEAP client, the bridge or repeater derives a dynamic WEP
key and uses it to communicate with the root bridge or access point. Bridges and repeaters not set up for
LEAP authentication use static WEP keys when communicating with other bridges and access points.

Note
If you do not use EAP authentication on your wireless network, you can select any WEP key as the
transmit key. If you use EAP authentication and you enable broadcast key rotation, you can enable
WEP without entering WEP keys.

MIB File Compatible with Firmware Version 11.00 and Later
The access point MIB file (AWCVX-MIB) is supported only by access point firmware version 11.00 and
later. Earlier versions of firmware do not support this MIB. You can download the access point MIB at
later. Earlier versions of firmware do not support this MIB. You can download the access point MIB at

Reboot of Workgroup Bridges Required When Allowing More Than 20
With firmware version 11.21, you can select no for the Classify Workgroup Bridges as Network
Infrastructure setting on the AP/Root Radio Advanced page to allow up to 50 workgroup bridges to
associate to the access point or bridge. When you select no for this setting, you must reboot workgroup
bridges associated to the access point or bridge.
