>config spanningtree switch forwarddelay <4-30>
where <4-30> seconds = STP forward delay for this Cisco Wireless LAN Controller (default
forward delay = 15 seconds).
• If required, configure the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller STP hello time using the following
command:
>config spanningtree switch hellotime <1-10>
where <1-10> seconds = STP hello time for this Cisco Wireless LAN Controller (default hello
time = 2 seconds).
• If required, configure the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller STP maximum age using the following
command:
>config spanningtree switch maxage <6-40>
where <6-40> seconds = STP maximum age for this Cisco Wireless LAN Controller (default =
20 seconds).
• After all the ports have been configured for the desired STP settings, enter the following:
>config spanningtree switch mode enable
This procedure allows the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller to most efficiently set up STP, detect
logical network loops, place redundant ports on standby, and build a network with the most
efficient pathways.
You have configured STP for the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller. Verify that your settings are stored in
memory using the show spanningtree port and show spanningtree switch commands. Continue
with Configuring WLANs.
Creating Access Control ListsCreating Access Control Lists
When you wish to create Access Control Lists, Cisco SWAN strongly recommends that you use the Cisco
Wireless LAN Controller. Refer to the Access Control Lists page in the Web User Interface Online Help
document.
Configuring WLANsConfiguring WLANs
Cisco Wireless LAN Controllers can control up to 16 Cisco SWAN Wireless LANs as described in Cisco
SWAN WLANs.
If you are not configuring WLANs at this time, skip this section and continue with Configuring Controller
Mobility Groups.
WLANsWLANs
• Use the show wlan summary command to display the current WLANs and whether they are
enabled or disabled. Note that each Cisco SWAN WLAN is assigned a WLAN ID from 1 to 16.
• If you are creating WLANs, use the following commands:
>config wlan create <wlan id> <wlan name>
>config wlan create 17 <3rd party wlan name>
where <wlan id> = 1 through 16, <wlan name> = SSID (up to 31 alphanumeric characters).
Note: When WLAN 1 is created in the Startup Wizard, it is created in enabled mode;
disable it until you have finished configuring it. When you create a new WLAN using
the config wlan create command, it is created in disabled mode; leave it disabled
until you have finished configuring it.
