Wired Intelligent Edge

Hello,

I would like to know if a stacked HP 3800 Switch (using the hardware stacking module and cables) can be configured to work in a "Mesh Domain" to use the meshing protocol.

Thank you very much.

Kind regards,

Joerg Goltermann

I've never done it, but the 3800 manual says you can.

You'll know soon enough when you try it:

CLI: Configuring Switch Meshing

Syntax: [no] mesh [e] < port-list >
Enables or disables meshing operation on the specified ports

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.

"show mesh"

Thank you for the answer.

I plan a new network and it would be nice to know it in advance.
