The Root tab provides the following information:

The Multicast Path tab provides the following information:

The Neighbors tab provides the following information:

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.

MP ID

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.

Bound

Indicates whether the root is bound or unbound.

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 5.8, indicating the frequency of the radio that is
used to communicate with the neighbor.

Metric

Displays the computed path metric between the neighbor and their Root Mesh Point.

Interface Bias

This field lists any bias applied because of the Preferred Root Interface Index.

Neighbor Bias

This field lists any bias applied because of the Preferred Root Next-Hop Neighbor
IFID.

Root Bias

This field lists any bias applied because of the Preferred Root MPID.

Mesh Point Name

Displays the name of each configured Mesh Point in the RF Domain.

MP ID

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.

Member Address

Displays the MAC address used for the members in the Mesh Point.

Group Address

Displays the MAC address used for the Group in the Mesh Point.

Path Timeout

The timeout interval in seconds. The interpretation this value will vary depending on
the value of the 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.

Mesh Point Name

Displays the name of each configured Mesh Point in the RF Domain.

MP ID

Displays the MeshID (MAC Address) of each Mesh Point in the RF Domain.

Neighbor MP ID

The MAC Address that the device uses to define the Mesh Point in the device that the
neighbor is a part of. It is used to distinguish the device that is the neighbor.

Neighbor IFID

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.

Root MP ID

The MAC Address of the neighbor's Root Mesh Point.

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 if the Mesh Point that is the neighbor
is a Root Mesh Point or No if the Mesh Point that is the neighbor is not a Root Mesh
Point.
