radios table
Only valid at the hub. It displays all the remote radios that are in the network including the RF
link statistics (transmit power and RSSI) and link distances.
ethernet-stations table
This table can be displayed in two formats, “counts” (default) and “times”.
>show ethernet
Ethernet Stations:
--Discard-- --Forward--

0 ff-ff-ff-ff-ff-ff 0 0 0 0 183

Both formats list all the ethernet stations attached to any of the radios. The tables list the MAC
(Ethernet) address of the station, and, if known, the IP address.
The first entry in the table tracks broadcast traffic while the second entry is always the address
of the radio itself. The “Radio” column shows the radio where that station is physically
attached with 2 representing the local radio and 3 through N the remote radios.
The “counts” format shows the cumulative number of ethernet packets that have been seen with
that MAC addresses in the “source” (from) or the “destination” (to) fields. In bridge mode the
radios are in “promiscuous” mode and look at all the ethernet packets in the Local Area
Network. The radios “discard” the packets that are known to be local, but “forward” all other
packets to the remote radio. These are accounted separately in the report.
The “times” format indicates whether that entry is for a “multicast” (MC) address, shows the
time when the station was added to the table, and how long since that address has been seen.
When the “idle” time exceeds the time specified by the “ethernet” command, that entry is
deleted from the table.
econsole table
The unit broadcasts an e-console discovery packet on both its ports: Ethernet and RF, and then
reports all the replies. These include both gateways and radios that can be reached on either
port.
