information on assigning a wired network profile to a port, see Assigning a Profile to Ethernet Ports on
page 124.
c. Spanning Tree—Select the Spanning Tree checkbox to enable Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) on the
wired profile. STP ensures that there are no loops in any bridged Ethernet network and operates on all
downlink ports, regardless of forwarding mode. STP will not operate on the uplink port and is supported
only on W-IAPs with three or more ports. By default Spanning Tree is disabled on wired profiles.
d. Inactivity Timeout—Specify the time out interval within the range of 60-86400 seconds for inactive
wired clients. The default interval is 1000 seconds.
5. Click Next. The VLAN tab details are displayed.
6. Configure VLAN for the wired profile. For more information, see Configuring VLAN for a Wired Profile on
page 120.
In the CLI
To configure wired settings for:

(Instant AP)(wired ap profile <name>)# type {<employee> |<guest>}
(Instant AP)(wired ap profile <name>)# speed {10 |100 |1000 |auto}
(Instant AP)(wired ap profile <name>)# duplex {half|full|auto}
(Instant AP)(wired ap profile <name>)# no shutdown

Configuring VLAN for a Wired Profile
If you are creating a new wired profile, complete the WiredSettings procedure before configuring VLAN. For
more information, see Configuring Wired Settings on page 119.
You can configure VLAN using the Instant UI or CLI.
In the Instant UI
To configure VLAN:
1. In the VLAN tab, enter the following information.
a. Mode—You can specify any of the following modes:
l Access—Select this mode to allow the port to carry a single VLAN specified as the native VLAN.
l Trunk—Select this mode to allow the port to carry packets for multiple VLANs specified as allowed
VLANs.
b. Specify any of the following values for Client IP Assignment:
l Virtual Controller Assigned: Select this option to allow the Virtual Controller to assign IP addresses
to the wired clients. When the Virtual Controller assignment is used, the source IP address is
translated for all client traffic that goes through this interface. The Virtual Controller can also assign a
guest VLAN to a wired client.
l Network Assigned: Select this option to allow the clients to receive an IP address from the network
to which the Virtual Controller is connected. On selecting this option, the New button to create a
VLAN is displayed. Create a new VLAN if required.
c. If the Trunk mode is selected:
