If a WSS is connected to the network by only one IP subnet, the WSS must have at least one VLAN configured. Option-
ally, each VLAN can have its own IP address. However, no two IP addresses on the switch can belong to the same IP
subnet. Define user VLANs on at least one WSS within the Mobility Domain.
You can configure the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) on a VLAN. STP is used to maintain a loop-free network;
meaning, devices will recognize a loop in the topology and block one or more redundant paths, creating a loop-free path.
The WLAN 2300 System Software (WSS Software) supports Per-VLAN Spanning Tree protocol (PVST). PVST allows
a separate spanning tree in each VLAN. STP is disabled by default on all VLANs, but it is configurable for individual
VLANs. STP does not run on AP ports or wired authentication ports and does not affect traffic flow on these port types.
