# Prisma Configure Mesh
Utility for changing from Hub/Spoke to Regional, Full, or Custom Mesh for Prisma SD-WAN.
#### Synopsis
Enables simply and flexibly creating Partial, Selective, or Full mesh topologies via a utility.
#### Features
- Quick one choice Full Mesh or Hub/Spoke config.
- Detailed Partial/Selective Mesh wizard
#### Requirements
* Active CloudGenix Account
* Python >= 3.7
* Python modules:
* CloudGenix Python SDK >= 6.2.1b1 - <https://github.com/CloudGenix/sdk-python>
* Progressbar2 >= 3.53.1 - <https://github.com/WoLpH/python-progressbar>
#### License

#### Installation:
- **PIP:** `pip install prisma_configure_mesh`. After install, `prisma_configure_mesh` script should be placed in the Python
Scripts directory.
- **Github:** Download files to a local directory, manually run `prisma_configure_mesh.py` scripts.
### Examples of usage:
1. Enable Full Mesh
```bash
edwards-mbp-pro:prisma_configure_mesh aaron$ ./prisma_configure_mesh.py
Choose Prisma SD-WAN Network Meshing Stance:
1: Full Mesh
2: Regional Mesh
3: Hub/Spoke Links Only
4: Custom Mesh
Choose a Number or (Q)uit: 1
Checking network state before moving to Full Mesh.

3. Enable Regional Mesh (Selective Full Mesh or Hub/Spoke within a Region)
```bash
edwards-mbp-pro:prisma_configure_mesh aaron$ ./prisma_configure_mesh.py
Choose Prisma SD-WAN Network Meshing Stance:
1: Full Mesh
2: Regional Mesh
3: Hub/Spoke Links Only
4: Custom Mesh

```
### Caveats and known issues:
- *If you have a LARGER network (>500 sites) - Please reach out to support to coordinate enabling full mesh*
- Selective/Partial mesh is usually the most effective and has the best performance/scale ratio.
