The rank is the level of importance and is used for automatic resource management.
8 – The current next hop to the recommended root.
7 – Any secondary next hop to the recommended root to has a good potential route metric.
6 – A next hop to an alternate root node.
5 – A downstream node currently hopping through to get to the root.
4 – A downstream node that could hop through to get to the root, but is currently not
hopping through any node (look at authentication, as this might be an issue).
3 – A downstream node that is currently hopping through a different node to get to the
root, but could potentially have a better route metric if it hopped through this node.
2 – Reserved for active peer to peer routes and is not currently used.
1 - A neighbor bound to the same recommended root but does not have a potential route
metric as good as the neighbors ranked 8 and 7.
0 – A neighbor bound to a different root node.
-1 – Not a member of the mesh as it has a different mesh ID.
All client devices hold a rank of 3 and can replace any mesh devices lower than that rank.
Displays the number of mili seconds since the mesh point last heard from this neighbor.
tab displays the following:
Displays the name of each configured mesh point in the RF Domain.
The destination is the endpoint of mesh path. It may be a MAC address or a mesh point ID.
This indicates the interface that is used by the device to communicate with this neighbor.
The values are 2.4 and 5.0, indicating the frequency of the radio that is used to
communicate with the neighbor.
The IFID uniquely identifies an interface associated with the MPID. Each mesh point on a
device can be associated with one or more interfaces.
Displays the Link State for each mesh point:
• Init - indicates the link has not been established or has expired.
• Enabled - indicates the link is available for communication.
• Failed - indicates the attempt to establish the link failed and cannot be retried yet.
• In Progress - indicates the link is being established but is not yet available.
Displays the maximum value in seconds that the link is allowed to stay in the In Progress
state before timing out.
Yes indicates the local MP acts as a supplicant to authenticate the link and not let it expire
(if possible). No indicates that the local MP does not need the link and will let it expire if
not maintained by the remote MP.
Displays the name of each configured mesh point in the RF Domain.
The destination is the endpoint of mesh path. It may be a MAC address or a mesh point ID.
Displays the MAC Address of the proxy used in the mesh point.
