The output of this command includes the following information:
Column Description
MAC
MAC address of the mesh node.
Portal By default, this column displays the BSSID of the mesh point. If you include the optional
names parameter, this column will display AP names, if available. The AP names will
include [p] (parent), or [c] (child) suffixes to indicate the role of the mesh BSSID.
Channel
Number of a radio channel used by the AP.
Age Number of seconds elapsed since the AP heard from the neighbor.
Hops
Indicates the number of hops it takes traffic from the mesh node to get to the mesh portal.
The mesh portal advertises a hop count of 0, while all other mesh nodes advertise a
cumulative count based on the parent mesh node
Cost A relative measure of the quality of the path from the AP to the controller. A lower number
indicates a better quality path, where a higher number indicates a less favorable path (e.g,
a path which may be longer or more congested than a path with a lower value.)
For a mesh point, the path cost is the sum of the (parent path cost) + (the parent node cost) +
(the link cost).
Relation Shows the relationship between the specified AP and the AP on the neighbor list and the
amount of time that relationship has existed.

P = Parent

C = Child

N = Neighbor

B = Blacklisted-neighbor
Flags This parameter shows additional information about the mesh neighbor. The key describing
each flag appears at the bottom of the neighbor list.
RSSI
The Receive Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) value displayed in the output of this command
represents signal strength as a signal to noise ratio. For example, a value of 30 would
indicate that the power of the received signal is 30 dBm above the signal noise threshold.
Rate Tx/Rx
The rate, in Mbps, that a neighbor transmits data to or receives data from the mesh-node
specified by the command.
A-Req
Number of association requests from clients
A-Resp Number of association responses from the mesh node
A-Fail
Number of association failures
Cluster
Name of the Mesh cluster that includes the specified AP or BSSID.
