All ports inside the mesh domain are members of all VLANs.

Figure 14-19. VLAN Operation with a Switch Mesh Domain

Dynamic VLANs

If GVRP is enabled, meshed ports in a switch become members of any dynamic VLANs created in the switch in the same way that they would if meshing was not configured in the switch. (For more on GVRP, refer to “GVRP” on page 11-34.)
