WPA2 security suite and WPA2-PSK security suite cannot exist 
simultaneously. 

■

At one time, only one security-suite per ESS can exist.

■

Open-WEP security suite and WEP security suite cannot exist 
simultaneously.

■

For Open-WEP and WEP keys you should enter one of the following 
options: 40 bits or 104 bits.

■

For WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK keys you should enter 8 – 63 ASCII chars 
(It is recommended to enter at least 20 chars), or 256 bits in hex 
format.

The following example creates a security suite for an ESS. 

The security suite configure ESS Configuration mode command enters 
the Security-Suite Configuration mode.

security suite configure type

■

type — The security suite type. Available values are as follows:

■

open-wep — No authentication with WEP for data encryption. Wired 
Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is a scheme to secure wireless networks 
(WiFi). Because a wireless network broadcasts messages using radio, it 
is particularly susceptible to eavesdropping. WEP provides comparable 
confidentiality to a traditional wired network. WEP provides a bare 
minimal level of security that can deter casual snooping.

■

shared-wep — Shared authentication only with WEP encryption.

■

open-shared-wep — Open or shared authentication with WEP 
encryption.

■

802.1x — 802.1x authentication with WEP.
