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).
