Important note about switch port configuration

A bad port configuration has the potential to cause a network to go down.
The Meter deployments team specifically configures ports in a way so that the network is operating as intended with the required specifications provided to Meter before the network goes live. If you believe you need to change any switch port configurations and are unsure of your exact needs, please reach out to the Meter Support team for assistance.
