The Root tab provides the following information:

The Multicast Path tab provides the following information:

Path State

Indicates whether the path is currently Valid of Invalid.

Bound

Indicates whether the path is bound or unbound.

Path Timeout

The timeout interval in mili-seconds. The interpretation this value will vary depending
on the value of the state.

Sequence

The sequence number aslo 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.

Mesh Point Name

Displays the name of each configured Mesh Point in the RF Domain.

Recommended

Displays the root that is recommended by the mesh routing layer.

MP ID

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.

Bound

Indicates whether the root is bound or unbound.

Next Hop IFID

The IFID of the next hop. The IFID is the MAC Address on the destination device.

Radio Interface

This indicates the interface that is used by the device to communicate with this
neighbor. The values are 2.4 and 5.8, indicating the frequency of the radio that is used
to communicate with the neighbor.

Metric

Displays the computed path metric between the neighbor and their Root Mesh Point.

Interface Bias

This field lists any bias applied because of the Preferred Root Interface Index.

Neighbor Bias

This field lists any bias applied because of the Preferred Root Next-Hop Neighbor IFID.

Root Bias

This field lists any bias applied because of the Preferred Root MPID.

Mesh Point Name

Displays the name of each configured Mesh Point in the RF Domain.

MP ID

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.

Member Address

Displays the MAC address used for the members in the Mesh Point.

Group Address

Displays the MAC address used for the Group in the Mesh Point.

Path Timeout

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.
