Configuring Switch Meshing

Preparation

Before configuring switch meshing:

Review the Operating Rules (page 14-5), 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 14-9.)

Note

To view the current switch mesh status on the Series 5300XL switches, use the CLI show mesh command (page 14-14).
