SA messages received from a peer in a mesh-group are not forwarded to other peers in the same mesh-group, which reduces SA message flooding.
A mesh group name must begin with an alphabetical character and may contain alphanumeric characters and underscores ( _ ), but it cannot contain spaces. The maximum allowed length for a name is 32 characters. For name creation guidelines and a list of reserved names, see Object Names in the Switch Engine 32.2 User Guide .
The following example creates a mesh-group called "verizon:":
create msdp mesh-group verizon
