etsysDot1xRekeyLength
Module: ENTERASYS-8021X-REKEYING-MIB
OID (symbolic): ENTERASYS-8021X-REKEYING-MIB::etsysDot1xRekeyLength
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.5624.1.2.17.1.1.1.1.3
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: INTEGER
Access: read-write
Description: Determines the number of bits/bytes used in the encryption keys. Currently supports either 128-bit (16-octet) encryption keys or 40-bit (5-octet) encryption keys.
What is etsysDot1xRekeyLength?
This setting selects whether the rapidly-rotated radio encryption keys are the stronger 128-bit (16-byte) length or the weaker, legacy 40-bit (5-byte) length. Administrators choose 128-bit keys by default for better security, but might select the 40-bit option only if older client hardware on the network can't support the longer key length. For example, a network with a mix of legacy WEP-only devices might be forced to set this to keylen40(1) to maintain compatibility, accepting the security tradeoff.
