The mesh config and deployment guides state: “The RAP must always connect to the native VLAN ID 1 on a switch. The RAP's primary Ethernet interface is by default the native VLAN of 1. “ http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/technology/mesh/7.0/design/guide/MeshAP_70.html#wp1749968 http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/controller/7.0MR1/configuration/guide/cg_mesh.html#wp1858032 Why does it matter? Let’s closely and methodically look at an initial config with ethernet bridging with a single Rap and Map, both with an attached switch. New configuration. Rap and Map joined to WLC. Map child of Rap. Here’s all we’ve done so far: • configured Rap’s switchport as mode trunk, native vlan 31 • configured Map’s switchport as mode trunk. No native vlan config, therefore native vlan is 1. • Disabled Vlan transparent on the controller • Enabled ethernet bridging on the rap and the map • We intend to next configure the map’s ethernet port for vlan tagging (trunk or access), but we’re already broken. • The key point is that upon enabling ethernet bridging on a Mesh AP, the initial ethernet interface mode is Normal. This mode behaves as if vlan transparent were enabled, and the native vlan of the Rap’s switch port *is* forwarded out of the Map’s ethernet interface untagged.

The Rap and Map will sporadically drop and rejoin the controller. The AP’s will intermittently display in the WLC’s gui and appear configurable. During this unstable state, you may be able to configure the map’s ethernet interface as a trunk, but the config will unlikely be applied if the Rap and or Map are in the process of losing connectivity due to the spanning tree misconfig. Although it appears as though you may have successfully configured the Map’s ethernet interface as a trunk, it will likely lose connectivity to the controller, and return in Normal mode, which will continue the unstable state. interface Gig 0/5 switchport trunk encap dot1q switchport mode trunk switchport trunk native vlan 31 RAP 802.11a 5Ghz radio MAP 1242-A 1242-B interface GigabitEthernet0/6 switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q Fas0 Fas0 switchport mode trunk Gig 0/6 G0/5 3560-B 3560-A G0/25 %SPANTREE-2-RECV_PVID_ERR: Received BPDU with inconsistent peer vlan id 1 on GigabitEthernet0/5 VLAN31.
