Use the Spanning Tree Instance table to add indexes to the spanning tree topology.

Add up to 16 indexes and use the Priority setting to define the bridge priority used to determine the
root bridge. The lower the setting defined, the greater the likelihood of becoming the root bridge in
the spanning tree topology.

Use the Spanning Tree Instance VLANs table to add VLAN instance indexes (by numeric ID) and
VLANs to the spanning tree topology.

Select the OK button located at the bottom right of the screen to save the changes and overrides.
Select Reset to revert to the last saved configuration.

Overriding a Routing Configuration

Overriding the Network Configuration

Routing is the process of selecting IP paths in a network to send access point managed network
traffic. Use the Routing screen to set destination IP and gateway addresses enabling assignment of
static IP addresses for requesting clients without creating numerous host pools with manual
bindings. This eliminates the need for a long configuration file and reduces the resource space
required to maintain address pools.

To override a profile’s route configuration:

Select Devices from the Configuration tab.

Select Device Overrides from the Device menu to expand it into sub menu options.

Select a target device from the device browser in the lower, left-hand, side of the UI.

Select Network to expand its sub menu options.

Select Routing.

PortFast BPDU Filter

Select Enable to invoke a BPDU filter for this portfast enabled port. Enabling the BPDU filter
feature ensures this port channel does not transmit or receive any BPDUs. BPDUs are exchanged
regularly and enable the access point to keep track of network changes and to start and stop
port forwarding as required. The default setting is disabled.

PortFast BPDU Guard

Select Enable to invoke a BPDU guard for the portfast enabled port. Enabling the BPDU Guard
feature means this port will shutdown on receiving a BPDU. Thus, no BPDUs are processed.
BPDUs are exchanged regularly and enable the access point to keep track of network changes
and to start and stop port forwarding as required. The default setting is disabled.

Enable Recovery

Select this option to enable a error disable timeout resulting from a BPDU guard. This setting is
disabled by default.

Recovery Interval

Define the recovery interval used to enable disabled ports. The available range is from 10 -
1,000,000 seconds with a default setting of 300.
