Configuring WEP Parameters
WEP has both line and circuit interface parameters. WEP parameters have default
values. To customize WEP for your network, you can edit those values.
Configuring WEP Line Parameters
1.
Enable encryption on this line:
The WEP Enable parameter defaults to Enable when you select WEP from the
Protocols menu. Both the WEP Enable parameter and the PPP or frame relay
Enable parameter must be set to Enable for WEP to function. (Instructions for
setting the Enable parameter for PPP can be found in the section “
Starting
Encryption for PPP” on 3-13. Instructions for setting this parameter for frame
relay can be found in the section “
Starting Encryption for Frame Relay” on
page 3-16
.)
Note:
Enabling WCP adds 5 bytes to the frame’s header. In most cases, this has
no effect on your data, and you do not need to adjust the default configuration. If
you want to increase the maximum transmission unit (MTU) to avoid
fragmenting or dropping large packets, refer to the manual for the WAN protocol
you are using.
