Statistics 13 - 39
The Path tab displays the following:
The Root tab displays the following:
Mesh Point Name Displays the name of each configured mesh point in the RF Domain.
Destination Addr The destination is the endpoint of mesh path. It may be a MAC address or a mesh point ID.
Destination 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.
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.
Next Hop IFID The Interface ID of the mesh point that traffic is being directed to.
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.
Mobility 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.
Metric A measure of the quality of the path. A lower value indicates a better path.
State Indicates whether the path is currently Valid of Invalid.
Binding Indicates whether the path is bound or unbound.
Timeout The timeout interval in seconds. The interpretation this value will vary depending on the
value of 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.
Sequence The sequence number also 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.
Root MPID 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.
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 5.0 , indicating the frequency of the radio that is used to
communicate with the neighbor.
