The Path tab displays the following:
Is Root A root mesh point is defined as a mesh point connected to the WAN and provides a wired backhaul
to the network. (Yes/No)
Meshpoint Identifier 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.
Interface ID The IFID uniquely identifies an interface associated with the MPID. Each mesh point on a device
can be associated with one or more interfaces.
Radio Interface Uniquely identifies the radio interface on which the Mesh Point operates.
Next Hop IFID Lists the ID of the interface on which the next hop for the mesh network can be found.
Next Hops Use Time Lists the time when the next hop in the mesh network topology was last utilized.
Root 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.
Root MP ID Displays the ID of the root device for this mesh point.
Root Bound Time Displays the duration this mesh point has been connected to the mesh root.
IFID Count Displays the number of Interface IDs (IFIDs) associated with all the configured mesh points in the
RF Domain.
Mesh Point Name Displays the name of each configured mesh point in the RF Domain.
Meshpoint Identifier The 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 Addr The destination is the endpoint of mesh path. It may be a MAC address or a mesh point ID.
Next Hop IFID The Interface ID of the mesh point that traffic is being directed to.
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.
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 mili-seconds. The interpretation this value will vary depending on the value
of the state.
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.
