Configure the Neighbor Switch

By default, all four ports on the Cisco 2500 Series Wireless Controller are 802.1Q trunk ports. The controller
is always connected to a Gigabit Ethernet port on the neighboring switch. The neighbor switch port is
configured as an 802.1Q trunk and only the appropriate VLANs are allowed on the trunk. All other VLANs
are pruned. This is not necessary, but is a deployment best practice because by pruning irrelevant VLANs, the
controller only processes relevant frames, optimizing performance.
This is the 802.1Q switchport configuration:
switchport
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport trunk native vlan X
switchport trunk allowed vlan X
switchport mode trunk
end
