Configuring 802.3 Bridging

Figure 4-9

General Page

Step 2

From the 802.3 Bridging drop-down box, choose 

Enabled

 to enable 802.3 bridging on your controller 

or 

Disabled

 to disable this feature. The default value is Disabled.

Note

In controller software release 5.2, you can disable 802.3 bridging only for 4400 series 
controllers, the Cisco WiSM, and the Catalyst 3750G Wireless LAN Controller Switch. 

Step 3

Click 

Apply

 to commit your changes.

Step 4

Click 

Save

 

Configuration

 to save your changes.

Using the CLI to Configure 802.3 Bridging

Follow these steps to configure 802.3 bridging using the controller CLI.

Step 1

To see the current status of 802.3 bridging for all WLANs, enter this command:

show network

Step 2

To enable or disable 802.3 bridging globally on all WLANs, enter this command:

config network 802.3-bridging

 {

enable

 | 

disable

}

The default value is disabled.

Note

In controller software release 5.2, you can disable 802.3 bridging only for 4400 series 
controllers, the Cisco WiSM, and the Catalyst 3750G Wireless LAN Controller Switch.
