Configuring Switch Meshing

Preparation

Before configuring switch meshing:
■ Review the Operating Rules (page 7-5), and particularly the restrictions
and requirements for using switch meshing in environments that include
static trunks, multiple static VLANs, GVRP, IGMP, and STP.
To avoid unnecessary system disruption, plan the mesh bring-up to mini­
■
mize temporary port-blocking. (Refer to "Bringing Up a Switch Mesh
Domain:" on page 7-10.)
To view the current switch mesh status on the switch, use the CLI show
■
mesh command (page 7-14).
