To configure spanning tree security

Note

You do not need to perform this procedure if you are implementing
an 802.1x security solution. 802.1x authentication automatically
enables secure IAPP and secure wireless hops. See Implementing
an 802.1x Security Solution
on page 164.

1. From the Main Menu, select Security then Spanning Tree Security.

The Spanning Tree Security screen appears.

2. Check Secure IAPP box.

3. Select Submit Changes.

4. In the IAPP Secret Key field, enter a secret key. This secret key must be

between 16 and 32 bytes.

5. Determine how the access points authenticate to the network.

‰ Check Allow SWAP box if you have older access points or you are

not implementing an 802.1x security solution.

‰ Check Allow TLS box, if you are implementing an 802.1x security

solution and you want to use TLS. The access point must have a
client certificate loaded on it.
