Total APs: 1
(N): 11N Enabled. (AC): 11AC Enabled. For Portals 'Uplink Age' equals uptime.
The output of the above commands includes the following information:
Parameter
Description
Range
Mesh cluster
Indicates whether the mesh cluster is enabled or disabled
—
Mesh cluster
name
Name of the mesh cluster. —
Name
Indicates the AP name.
—
AP Type
Indicates the AP type.
—
Mesh Role
Indicates if the AP is functioning as mesh point or mesh portal.
—
Parent
Indicates the parent name of the mesh point.
—
IP Address
IP address of the AP.
—
Path Cost
Path cost is calculated by analyzing the other components in this
command output, adding the link cost, the mesh parent's path
cost, and the parent's node cost. Mesh portals typically advertise
a path cost of 0, but high-throughput portals add an offset penal-
ty if they are connected to a 10/100 mbps port that is too slow for
the high throughput link capacity.
—
Node Cost
A relative measure of the quality of the node, where a lower
number of is more favorable than a higher number. This cost is
related to the number of children on the specified node.
—
Link Cost
Represents the quality of the link to an active neighbor. The
higher the RSSI, the better the path to the neighbor and the
mesh portal. If the RSSI value is below the configured threshold,
the link cost is penalized to filter marginal links. A less direct,
higher quality link may be preferred over the marginal link. The
following factors also affect mesh link metrics:
• High-throughput APs add a high cost penalty for links as
compared to non-high-throughput APs.
• Multi-stream high-throughput APs add proportional cost pen-
alties for links to high throughput.
• APs that support fewer streams.
0 - 8
Hop Count
Indicates the number of hops it takes for the mesh node to get to
the mesh portal. The mesh portal advertises a hop count of 0 for
a mesh portal and a hop count of 1 or 2 for a mesh point, while
all other mesh nodes advertise a cumulative count based on the
parent mesh node.
—
RSSI
Indicates the RSSI values associated with the mesh networks to
which APs are connected.
—
Rate Tx/Rx
Indicates the rate of data frames transmitted and received.
—
Last Update
Indicates when the entries were last updated. —
Uplink
Indicates the AP's current active uplink.
—
Age
The mesh link’s uptime. —
Children
Indicates the number of slave APs in the mesh network
