Switch Meshing
Configuring Switch Meshing
Viewing Switch Mesh Status
There are three commands for viewing mesh status on a switch:
show mesh
show mesh mac-address
show mesh traceroute mac-address < MAC-addr > vlan < vid >
The switch presents show mesh output in this format:
Adjacent Hosts
Port State | Hostname Address Peer Port Mesh Warning
------ --------------- + -------- ------------- ------------- ------------
|
See the log file for details of warnings.
The Port column lists the ports on the switch that have been configured for
meshing.
State shows the operating state of the port:
Established — The port is linked to a meshed port on another switch and
meshing traffic is flowing across the link. The show mesh listing includes
the MAC addresses of the adjacent switch and direct connection port on
the adjacent switch.
Not Established — The port may be linked to a switch on a port that is not
configured for meshing or has gone down.
Initial — The port has just come up as a meshed port and is trying to
negotiate meshing.
Disabled — The port is configured for meshing but is not connected to
another device.
Syntax: show mesh
Lists the switch ports configured for meshing, along with the
State of each mesh-configured connection, the hostname and
MAC address of the switch on the opposite end of the link
(Adjacent Switch), the MAC address of the port on the opposite
end of the link (Peer Port), and whether or not any mesh
warnings have been generated. Mesh warnings are written
to the event log.
