Furthur Understanding of using WEP with TKIP, MIC, PPK, and BKR

Kevin Melton

While implementing The Cisco Wireless Security Suite across an 802.11b (2 350 Bridges)link, I have to ask a question.

I used to use 4 X 128 bit keys for just the WEP part (WEP screen has 4 places to set the keys).

On the Radio>advanced Screen, you have the place to set your MIC and your Per Packet Keying...understanding that Per-Packet Keying assigns a new WEP key to each frame, is it necessary to Set 4 WEP keys on the WEP key screen?? Or should I set just one? Do I have to set any with PPK enabled on the Radio>advanced screen? Or is this done dynamically by the bridges??

It does not seem like I should have 4 WEP keys set on the WEP key screen if I have selected Per Packet Keying on the Radio>Advanced Screen? Is this accurate??

Yes you are accurate, you can select which key you want to use by clicking Transmit Key.
