Syntax transmit-key index - Key index. (Range: 1-4) Default Setting 1 Command Mode Interface Configuration (Wireless-VAP) Command Usage • If you use WEP key encryption option, the access point uses the transmit key to encrypt multicast and broadcast data signals that it sends to client devices. Other keys can be used for decryption of data from clients. • When using IEEE 802.1X, the access point uses a dynamic key to encrypt unicast and broadcast messages to 802.1X-enabled clients. However, because the access point sends the keys during the 802.1X authentication process, these keys do not have to appear in the client's key list. • In a mixed-mode environment with clients using static and dynamic keys, select transmit key index 2, 3, or 4. The access point uses transmit key index 1 for the generation of dynamic keys. Example Enterprise AP(if-wireless g: VAP[0])#transmit-key 2 Enterprise AP(if-wireless g)# 5-135
