Disable Port Aggregation Protocol (PagP) − PagP is enabled by default, but it is not needed for user−facing ports.

Enable Port Fast ￿ Allows a switch to quickly resume forwarding traffic if a Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) link goes down.

Configure Wireless VLAN ￿ Creates a unique wireless VLAN that isolates wireless traffic from other data, voice, and management VLANs, thereby isolating traffic and ensuring greater control of traffic.

Enable QoS, and Do not Trust the Port (mark down to 0) ￿ Ensures appropriate treatment of high priority traffic, including soft phones, and prevents users from consuming excessive bandwidth by re−configuring their PCs.
