Example 135 A mesh topology

Syntax:

show mesh mac-address

Lists information about devices connected to the switch mesh in the following format.

MAC Address VLAN Port Owner Switch Hostname

------------ ---- ---- ------ ------- ----------

MAC Address The MAC address of the device connected to the switch mesh.

VLAN The VLAN of the switch mesh.

Port The port on the originating switch through which the device’s

MAC address was obtained.

Owner Switch The base MAC address of the switch to which the device is

connected.

Hostname The hostname of the switch to which the device is connected.

NOTE: The information shown by the show mesh mac-address command is not static.

Addresses age out of a switch’s meshing address table after approximately five minutes of inactivity,

and the switches in a mesh exchange meshing address information at intervals of approximately

five minutes. So client devices that appear in the listing may have disappeared the next time you

view the listing. If you wish to see device information for a device that is no longer shown in the

MAC address listing, a simple way to activate the device’s entry in the meshing address table and

make its MAC address reappear in the listing is to ping the device’s IP address.
