Each unit is equipped with a powerful neighbor discovery module whose purpose is to detect
all units in the RF network and add all necessary IP routes required to reach neighboring
units. The neighbor discovery module only operates when the unit is configured in
router mode. ViPRs discover other ViPRs by sending and receiving neighbor discovery
control messages.
There are three modes of operations (Manual-Scan, Auto-Scan, Disabled); five states of
operations (Ready, Scanning for Neighbors, Disabled, Saving Neighbor Table, Testing
Connectivity); and three types of Neighbor Table entries (Static, Dynamic, Locked).
11.1 USER INTERFACE
The User Interface grants access to ViPR Neighbor Management options and displays
information about local status, discovered neighbors, and control operations.
