Table 14-2. Operating Details for Figure 14-11

Port	Meshing?	Connection
A1	Yes	Connected to a port that may not be configured for meshing
A2	Yes	Connected to a switch port on a device that is not configured for meshing (another switch, or a
		hub). In this case, the Topology Error message indicates that the switch detects a meshed port
		on another, non-adjacent device that is also connected to the non-meshed switch or hub.
		However, meshing will not operate properly through this connection.
B1	Yes	Not connected to another device.
C1	Yes	Connected to a meshed port on the same adjacent switch as D1 with meshing operating properly.
D1	Yes	Connected to a meshed port on the same adjacent switch as C1 with meshing operating properly.

CLI: Configuring Switch Meshing

Syntax: [no] mesh [e] < port-list>

Enables or disables meshing operation on the specified ports.

All meshed ports on a switch belong to the same mesh domain. Thus, to configure multiple meshed ports on a switch, you need to:

1.Specify the ports you want to operate in the mesh domain.

2.Use write memory to save the configuration to the startup-config file.

3.Reboot the switch

For example, to configure meshing on ports A1-A4, B3, C1, and D1-D3:
