The Details section is split into 7 tabs
The General tab provides the following information:
The Path tab provides the following information:
Mesh Point Name Displays the name of each configured Mesh Point in the RF Domain.
MAC Displays the MAC Address of each configured Mesh Point in the RF Domain.
Hostname Displays the hostname for each configured Mesh Point in the RF Domain.
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/No)
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.
Hops 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.
IFID Count Displays the number of Interface IDs (IFIDs) associated with all the configured Mesh
Points in the RF Domain.
IF ID The Interface ID (IFID) uniquely identifies an interface associated with the MPID.
Each Mesh Point on a device can be associated with one or more interfaces.
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.
Destination The destination is the endpoint of mesh path. It may be a MAC address or a Mesh
Point ID.
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/No)
MiNT ID 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.
Hops 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.
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.
Next Hop IFID The Interface ID of the Mesh Point that traffic is being directed to.
Metric A measure of the quality of the path. A lower value indicates a better path.
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.
