Configuring STP Features
You complete three major steps to configure STP on the bridge:

These sections include spanning-tree configuration information:

Radio port priority
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 bridge:
