The kseed command creates the seed that enables WEP to generate random
numbers. To create a TEK seed, you work in the secure shell of the router.
1. At the C shell prompt on a UNIX platform, or at the DOS prompt on a
PC, enter
ksession
You enter the secure shell, which prompts you for the password.
2. Enter the password.
Your password should be at least 10 to 12 characters long. It should not be
anything obvious. Change it often.
The prompt changes to SSHELL.
3. Enter the kseed command and press Return.
WEP asks
Do you wish to create the TEK Key File?
4. Press Return to create the TEK Key File.
WEP displays
To initialize the seed for the cryptographic random number generator,
please now enter a series of characters which you would consider to
be 'random.' As you enter them, dots '.' will be displayed to
indicate progress. If your string is not 'random' enough, questions
'?' will be displayed. In that case, modify the pattern you are
entering. When enough data is input, you will be prompted to stop
(near 3 lines of input)...
As you type, the screen displays a dot for each keystroke the WEP accepts:
.
... .... .... .... ....
.... .... .... .... ....
.... .... .... ..
If your keystrokes are not random enough, the screen displays ???
When you have entered a sufficient number of random keystrokes, WEP
displays a message telling you you’re done, and returns you to the prompt.
All done, thank you!
