Question
You configure a wireless router at your home. To secure your home Wireless LAN (WLAN), you implement WEP. Now you want to connect your client computer to the WLAN. Which of the following is the required information that you will need to configure the client computer? Each correct answer represents a part of the solution. Choose two.
Options
- AWEP key
- BIP address of the router
- CMAC address of the router
- DSSID of the WLAN

Why each option
Connecting to a WEP-secured WLAN requires both the SSID to identify the target network and the WEP key to authenticate and decrypt wireless traffic.
The WEP key is the shared secret used to encrypt and decrypt all data transmitted between the client and the access point - without it the client cannot participate in the secured wireless network.
The router's IP address is typically obtained automatically via DHCP after the wireless association is established and is not required input to connect to the WLAN.
The router's MAC address is not a configuration requirement for a wireless client to associate with a WEP-protected network.
The SSID is the network identifier the client uses to locate and associate with the correct wireless network, and it must be explicitly configured on the client to initiate the connection.
