WEP Verification and Role Changes for Wireless Bridge

[matt.austin]

I recently configured WEP between 2 wireless bridges. They seem to be communicating fine, but how can I verify that the WEP encryption is working, like utilizing any Debug commands. Also, if I use 4 WEP keys, how does that impede the performance of the Wireless link?

On another note, the Bridge that I specified as (Access Point/Root Bridge) changes status to Repeater Mode. It is not currently connected to the network, but they communicate fine even when it isn't, only associating with one another. Any help or answers will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in Advance...

If the "Role in Radio network" is set to Root (fallback to repeater) and you don't have the wired network, it is normal to get it working as a repeater.
