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. “

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.

Since switch 3560-A’s native vlan 31 BPDU's are being received on switch 3560-B’s port untagged (which 3560-B expects to be Vlan 1),
and vise versa, both switches will perpetually churn spanning tree state for the relevant vlans.
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.

This condition is caused by the switches’ protective mechanism that detects the spanning tree BPDU vlan identifier is mismatched:
To simplify and clarify this concept, let’s see what happens when we take mesh out of the picture with the same switched topology…
