Select the encryption strength for this interface.
Encryption is available in two versions, regular and strong. The standard
router software includes encryption that uses regular encryption, that is, 40-bit
keys. Bay Networks also offers a strong encryption option that uses 56-bit
keys. Strong encryption is generally available only in the United States and
Canada.
Select the encryption strength that is appropriate for your network. Note that
you can select both encryption strengths. This option enables a system that
has 56-bit encryption strength to support secure links with either 40-bit and
56-bit strength encryption sites. If you select both, WEP uses 56-bit
encryption if both sides of the link can support it.
