security suite configure type
Parameters
■ type — The security suite type. Available values are as follows:
■ open-wep — No authentication with WEP for data encryption. Wired
Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is a scheme to secure wireless networks
(WiFi). Because a wireless network broadcasts messages using radio, it
is particularly susceptible to eavesdropping. WEP provides comparable
confidentiality to a traditional wired network. WEP provides a bare
minimal level of security that can deter casual snooping.
■ shared-wep — Shared authentication only with WEP encryption.
■ open-shared-wep — Open or shared authentication with WEP
encryption.
■ 802.1x — 802.1x authentication with WEP.
