A Root Mesh Point is defined as a Mesh Point that is connected to the WAN and provides
a wired backhaul to the network. (Yes/No)
The MP identifier is used to distinguish between other Mesh Points both on the same
device and on other devices. This is used by a user to setup the preferred root
configuration.
Number of hops to a root and should not exceed 4 in general practice. If using the same
interface to both transmit and receive, then you will get approximately half the
performance every additional hop out.
Displays the number of Interface IDs (IFIDs) associated with all the configured Mesh
Points in the RF Domain.
Displays the name of each configured Mesh Point in the RF Domain.
The MP identifier is used to distinguish between other Mesh Points both on the same
device and on other devices. This is used by a user to setup the preferred root
configuration.
The MAC Address used by the interface on the neighbor device to communicate with this
device. This may define a particular radio or Ethernet port that communicates with this
device over the mesh.
A Root Mesh Point is defined as a Mesh Point that is connected to the WAN and provides
a wired backhaul to the network. (Yes/No)
Displays the MiNT Protocol ID for the global mint area identifier. This area identifier
separates two overlapping mint networks and need only be configured if the
administrator has two mint networks that share the same packet broadcast domain.
Number of hops to a root and should not exceed 4 in general practice. If using the same
interface to both transmit and receive, then you will get approximately half the
performance every additional hop out.
Displays whether the mesh point is a mobile or static node. Displays True when the device
is mobile and False when the device is not mobile.
The Interface ID of the Mesh Point that traffic is being directed to.
A measure of the quality of the path. A lower value indicates a better path.
Indicates whether the path is currently Valid or Invalid.
Indicates whether the path is bound or unbound.
The timeout interval in seconds. The interpretation this value will vary depending on the
value of the state. If the state is Init or In Progress, the timeout duration has no
significance. If the state is Enabled, the timeout duration indicates the amount of time left
before the security validity check is initiated. If the state is Failed, the timeout duration is
the amount of time after which the system will retry.
The sequence number also known as the destination sequence number. It is updated
whenever a mesh point receives new information about the sequence number from RREQ,
RREP, or RERR messages that may be received related to that destination.
