Configuring STP Features
The radio and Ethernet interfaces and the native VLAN on the access point 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 access point:
Ethernet port priority 128
Radio port path cost 33
Radio port priority 128

Command Purpose
Step 1
configure terminal Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2
interface { dot11radio number | fastethernet
number }
Enter interface configuration mode for radio or Ethernet
interfaces or sub-interfaces.
Step 3
bridge-group number Assign the interface to a bridge group. You can number your
bridge groups from 1 to 255.
Step 4
no bridge-group number spanning-disabled Counteract the command that automatically disables STP for a
bridge group. STP is enabled on the interface when you enter
the bridge n protocol ieee command.
Step 5
exit Return to global configuration mode.
Step 6
bridge number protocol ieee Enable STP for the bridge group. You must enable STP on
each bridge group that you create with bridge-group
commands.
Step 7
bridge number priority priority (Optional) Assign a priority to a bridge group. The lower the
priority, the more likely it is that the bridge becomes the
spanning-tree root.
Step 8
end Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 9
show spanning-tree bridge Verify your entries.
Step 10
copy running-config startup-config (Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
