The Neighbors tab provides the following information:

Mesh Point Name

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

MP ID

Displays the MeshID (MAC Address) of each Mesh Point in the RF Domain.

Neighbor MP ID

The MAC Address that the device uses to define the Mesh Point in the device that the
neighbor is a part of. It is used to distinguish the device that is the neighbor.

Neighbor IFID

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.

Root MP ID

The MAC Address of the neighbor's Root Mesh Point.

Is Root

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 if the Mesh Point that is the neighbor is a
Root Mesh Point or No if the Mesh Point that is the neighbor is not a Root Mesh Point.

Mesh Device Mobile

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.

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.

Hops

The number of devices between the neighbor and its Root Mesh Point. If the neighbor
is a Root Mesh Point, this value will be 0. If the neighbor is not a Root Mesh Point but it
has a neighbor that is a Root Mesh Point, this value will be 1. Each Mesh Point between
the neighbor and its Root Mesh Point is counted as 1 hop.

Resourced

Displays whether the mesh point has been resourced or not. The Mesh Connex
neighbor table can contain more neighbors than the AP supports. If the neighbor is
resourced, it will take away a one of the resources for a wireless client device to be
used for meshing. Displays True when the device is resourced and False when the
device is not.

Link Quality

An abstract value depicting the quality of the mesh link between the device and the
neighbor. The range is from 0 (weakest) to 100 (strongest).
