STP Operation with Switch Meshing
As noted earlier in this section, STP sees a switch mesh domain as a single
path. This makes switch meshing a useful tool for preventing STP from
blocking redundant physical links in separate VLANs. (A switch mesh domain
is a member of all VLANs configured on the switch.)
In some cases, switch meshing will automatically change STP Cost and
Priority information. For more on this topic, refer to “Spanning Tree Operation
with Switch Meshing” on page 6-89.
