CLI: Configuring Switch Meshing

Syntax: [no] mesh [e] < port-list >
[no] mesh backward-compat
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:
Figure 7-14. Example of How To Configure Ports for Meshing
To remove a port from meshing, use the "no" version of mesh, followed by write
memory and rebooting the switch. For example, to remove port C1 from the
mesh:
Figure 7-15. Example of Removing a Port from the Mesh
Enables or disables meshing operation on the specified ports.
Enables or disables the switch for backward compatible
mode. This allows the 3400cl, 6400cl, and 5300xl switches
to interoperate with the 8000M/4000M/2424M/2400M/1600M
switches in the same switch mesh.
Note: Enabling this mode turns off some configuration
checking done in a mesh with only 3400cl, 6400cl, or 5300xl
switches. This command does not require a reboot to take
effect.
