Configuring STP Features
You complete three major steps to configure STP on the WMIC:
1. If necessary, assign interfaces and sub-interfaces to bridge groups
2. Enable STP for each bridge group
3. Set the STP priority for each bridge group
These sections include spanning-tree configuration information:
• Default STP Configuration, page 6-9
• Configuring STP Settings, page 6-9
• STP Configuration Examples, page 6-10
Default STP Configuration
STP is disabled by default. Table 6-2 lists the default STP settings when you enable STP.
The radio and Ethernet interfaces and the native VLAN on the bridge are assigned to bridge group 1 by
default. When you enable STP and assign a priority on bridge group 1, STP is enabled on the radio and
Ethernet interfaces and on the primary VLAN, and those interfaces adopt the priority assigned to bridge
group 1. You can create bridge groups for sub-interfaces and assign different STP settings to those bridge
groups.
Configuring STP Settings
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure STP on the WMIC:
