Configuration and Port Status Features
CLI: Configuring Switch Meshing
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 switches with redundant management modules,
such as 8200zl switches, you must reboot both management modules. Use
the boot system … command.
For example, to configure meshing on ports A1-A4, B3, C1, and D1-D3:
Figure 4-9. 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:

Configuring Per-Port S-VLAN Membership

Details how to use `svlan` commands for tagged and untagged per-port S-VLAN memberships.

Classifier-Based Software Configuration

Traffic Classes

Introduces classifier features, additional policy actions, and configuration of service policies.

Creating a Traffic Class

Explains how to use `match` and `ignore` commands to create classes of IPv4 or IPv6 traffic.

Creating a Service Policy

Details how to create QoS, mirroring, or PBR policies by defining actions for traffic classes.

Applying a Service Policy to an Interface

Describes how to apply QoS, mirroring, or PBR policies to inbound traffic on ports or VLAN interfaces.

Zone Classes

Explains zone classes used with Transparent Mode for intercepting and redirecting packets to ONE applications.

Creating a Zone Class

Details how to create a zone class using the `class zone` command and `port-list` command.

Creating a Zone Policy

Explains how to configure zone policies by defining intercept rules for source and destination zones.
