3com WXR100 3CRWXR10095A Manuel D’Utilisation

By default, the WX switch sends encryption key information to a wireless 
supplicant (client) in an Extensible Authentication Protocol over LAN 
(EAPoL) packet after authentication is successful. You can disable this 
feature or change the time interval for key transmission. 

The secret Wired-Equivalent Privacy protocol (WEP) keys used by MSS on 
MAPs for broadcast communication on a VLAN are automatically rotated 
(rekeyed) every 30 minutes to maintain secure packet transmission. You 
can disable WEP key rotation for debugging purposes, or change the 
rotation interval. 

The following command enables or disables the transmission of key 
information to the supplicant (client) in EAPoL key messages, after 
authentication:

set dot1x key-tx {enable | disable}

Key transmission is enabled by default.

The WX switch sends EAPoL key messages after successfully 
authenticating the supplicant (client) and receiving authorization 
attributes for the client. If the client is using dynamic WEP, the EAPoL Key 
messages are sent immediately after authorization. 

Type the following command to reenable key transmission:

WX1200# set dot1x key-tx enable
success: dot1x key transmission enabled.

The following command sets the number of seconds the WX switch waits 
before retransmitting an EAPoL packet of key information:

set dot1x tx-period seconds

The default is 5 seconds. The range for the retransmission interval is from 
1 to 65,535 seconds. For example, type the following command to set 
the retransmission interval to 300 seconds:

WX1200# set dot1x tx-period 300
success: dot1x tx-period set to 300.
