bridge protocol ieee
bridge protocol ieee
Use the bridge number protocol ieee global configuration command to enable Spanning Tree Protocol
(STP) on the bridge. STP is enabled for all interfaces assigned to the bridge group that you specify in
the command.
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.
