Table 42. Spanning Tree Parameter Descriptions

Parameter	Explanation
AP Name	Enter a unique name for this access point. The
	name can be from 1 to 16 characters. The default
	is the access point serial number.
LAN ID (Domain)	Enter the LAN ID. All access points must have
	the same LAN ID to participate in the same
	spanning tree. The LAN ID is a number from 0 to
	254.
Root Priority	Determines if this access point is a candidate to
	become the root of the spanning tree. The access
	point with the highest root priority becomes the
	root whenever it is powered on and active.
	The root priority can be a value from 0 (off) to 7.
	The value 1 is the highest priority for a
	participating access point.
	If you set the root priority to 0, the access point
	can never become the root access point. All
	access points on the secondary LAN should have
	a root priority of 0.
	For help deciding if this access point should be a
	candidate to become root, see “About the
	Primary LAN and the Root Access Point” on
	page 131.
Enable GVRP for	The access point uses GARP VLAN Registration
VLAN	Protocol (GVRP) to request a VLAN-capable
	Ethernet switch to forward traffic for specific
	VLANs.
	Enabling this parameter lets the switch exchange
	VLAN configuration information with other GVRP
	switches, prune unnecessary broadcast, prune
	unknown unicast traffic, and dynamically create
	and manage VLANs on switches connected
	through 802.1Q trunk ports.
	A switch may also be configured statically to
	always forward specific VLANs to specific ports.
	You should clear this check box for a static
	configuration.
