Description
Configure an interface to be part of a mesh group, which is a set of fully connected nodes.
A mesh group is a set of routing devices that are fully connected. That is, they have a fully meshed topology. When link-state PDUs are being flooded throughout an area, each router within a mesh group receives only a single copy of a link-state PDU instead of receiving one copy from each neighbor, thus minimizing the overhead associated with the flooding of link-state PDUs.
To create a mesh group and designate that an interface be part of the group, assign a mesh-group number to all the routing device interfaces in the group. To prevent an interface in the mesh group from flooding link-state PDUs, configure blocking on that interface.
Options
blocked—Configure the interface so that it does not flood link-state PDUs.
value—Number that identifies the mesh group.
Range: 1 through 4,294,967,295 (232 – 1; 32 bits are allocated to identify a mesh group)
Required Privilege Level
routing—To view this statement in the configuration.
routing-control—To add this statement to the configuration.
