Configuring switch meshing
Use the following command to enable or disable meshing operation on the specified ports.
Syntax:
mesh [e] port-list [id 1...31]
no mesh [e] port-list [id 1...31]
Enables or disables meshing operation on the specified ports.
- port-list
Specifies the ports to be added or removed from a mesh.
id 1...31
Specifies the mesh ID. It must be unique; if two switches in a mesh are assigned the same mesh ID, they auto-negotiate and generate unique IDs. Only configured mesh IDs can be changed by a user.
When the mesh ID is configured, a reboot is required for this ID to take effect.
To view the mesh IDs, enter the
show mesh id
command.
The
no mesh id
command resets the configured mesh ID to zero.
Default: Mesh ID = 0
All meshed ports on a switch belong to the same mesh domain. To configure multiple meshed ports on a switch:
- Specify the ports you want to operate in the mesh domain.
-
Use
write memory
to save the configuration to thestartup-config
file. - Reboot the switch. For switches with redundant management modules, you must reboot both management modules. Use the boot system … command.
switch(config)# mesh a1-a4, b3, c1, d1-d3
Command will take effect after saving configuration and reboot.
switch(config)# write memory
switch(config)# boot
Device will be rebooted, do you want to continue [y/n]? Y
mesh
, followed by
write memory
and rebooting the switch. For example, to remove port C1 from the mesh:
switch(config)# config
switch(config)# no mesh c1
Command will take effect after saving configuration and reboot.
switch(config)# write memory
switch(config)# boot
Device will be rebooted, do you want to continue [y/n]? y
