Example for Configuring WEP Authentication (Share-key Authentication and WEP Encryption)

Procedure

1. Configure basic AP attributes.

   # Configure the country code for the AP.

   <Huawei> system-view
   [Huawei] wlan global country-code cn 
   

   # Create a VLANIF interface, assign an IP address to it for Layer 3 packet forwarding, and enable the DHCP server function on the VLANIF interface. In this example, an address pool is configured on VLANIF 100 to assign IP addresses to STAs.

   [Huawei] dhcp enable
   [Huawei] vlan 100
   [Huawei-vlan100] quit
   [Huawei] interface vlanif 100
   [Huawei-Vlanif100] ip address 10.10.10.1 24
   [Huawei-Vlanif100] dhcp select interface
   [Huawei-Vlanif100] quit

2. Configure radios for APs.

   # Create a WMM profile named wmm-1 and retain the default parameter settings.

   [Huawei] wlan
   [Huawei-wlan-view] wmm-profile name wmm-1 id 1
   [Huawei-wlan-wmm-prof-wmm-1] quit

   # Create a radio profile named radio-1 and bind the WMM profile wmm-1 to it.

   [Huawei-wlan-view] radio-profile name radio-1 
   [Huawei-wlan-radio-prof-radio-1] wmm-profile name wmm-1 
   [Huawei-wlan-radio-prof-radio-1] quit
   [Huawei-wlan] quit

   # Bind the radio profile radio-1 to a radio interface.

   [Huawei] interface wlan-radio 0/0/0                                              
   [Huawei-Wlan-Radio0/0/0] radio-profile name radio-1
   [Huawei-Wlan-Radio0/0/0] quit

3. Configure service sets for APs.

   # Configure a WLAN-BSS interface so that radio packets can be sent to the WLAN service module after reaching the AP.

   [Huawei] interface wlan-bss 1  
   [Huawei-Wlan-Bss1] port hybrid tagged vlan 100                                   
   [Huawei-Wlan-Bss1] quit

   # Configure a security profile named security-1 and set the authentication mode to shared key authentication and WEP encryption.

   Configure WEP authentication for the security profile; set the WEP authentication mode to preshared key authentication; set the WEP key length to WEP-104, the key index to 0, and the key to 0123456789abc; and set the default key index for WEP authentication and encryption to 0.

   [Huawei] wlan
   [Huawei-wlan-view] security-profile name security-1 id 1
   [Huawei-wlan-sec-prof-security-1] security-policy wep
   [Huawei-wlan-sec-prof-security-1] wep key wep-104 pass-phrase 0 cipher 0123456789abc
   [Huawei-wlan-sec-prof-security-1] wep authentication-method share-key
   [Huawei-wlan-sec-prof-security-1] wep default-key 0
   [Huawei-wlan-sec-prof-security-1] quit

   # Create a traffic profile named traffic-1 and retain the default parameter settings.

   [Huawei-wlan-view] traffic-profile name traffic-1 id 1
   [Huawei-wlan-traffic-prof-traffic-1] quit

   # Create a service set and set the SSID to huawei, bind the traffic profile, security profile, and WLAN-BSS interface to the service set.

   [Huawei-wlan-view] service-set name huawei-1 id 1
   [Huawei-wlan-service-set-huawei-1] ssid huawei
   [Huawei-wlan-service-set-huawei-1] traffic-profile name traffic-1
   [Huawei-wlan-service-set-huawei-1] security-profile name security-1
   [Huawei-wlan-service-set-huawei-1] wlan-bss 1
   [Huawei-wlan-service-set-huawei-1] quit
   [Huawei-wlan-view] quit

4. Configure a VAP.

   # Bind the service set huawei-1 to a radio interface.

   [Huawei] interface wlan-radio 0/0/0  
   [Huawei-Wlan-Radio0/0/0] service-set name huawei-1   
   [Huawei-Wlan-Radio0/0/0] quit  
   

5. Verify the configurations.

   # The WLAN with SSID huawei is available for STAs connected to the AP.

   # If a STA has an incorrect shared key configured, the STA cannot access the Internet.

   # After the PC scans an SSID, if you double-click the SSID and enter the key, association may fail. You must manually configure the authentication mode and key index.

   • Configuration on the Windows XP operating system:

     1. On the Association tab page of the Wireless network properties dialog box, add SSID huawei, set the network authentication mode to shared-key mode and encryption mode to WEP, and configure the network key and corresponding key index.

   • Configuration on the Windows 7 operating system:

     1. Access the Manage wireless networks page, click Add, and select Manually create a network profile. Add SSID huawei, set the encryption and authentication modes, and click Next.
     2. Scan SSIDs to search WLANs. Double-click SSID huawei, click the Security tab, and set the key index on the Security tab page.
