11. The MeshPoint Details field on the bottom portion of the screen displays tabs for General,
Path, Root, Multicast Path, Neighbors, Security and Proxy. Refer to the following:
The General tab displays the following:
The Path tab displays the following:
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.
Configured as 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)
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)
Destination Addr The destination is the endpoint of mesh path. It may be a MAC address or a mesh point
ID.
Interface ID Uniquely identifies an interface associated with the ID. Each mesh point on a device can
be associated with one or more interfaces.
Root Interface Lists the radio interface on which the mesh point operates.
Next Hop IFID Identifies 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 Lists the interface ID of the interface on which the next hop for the mesh network can be
found.
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.
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.
