 Dynamic
A "Dynamic" neighbor entry is one that has been learned by the neighbor discovery
algorithm. It can be updated or deleted by the neighbor Discovery algorithm when it
detects changes in the topology.
 Locked
A "Locked" neighbor entry is a "Dynamic" neighbor entry saved into nvram. The "Locked"
neighbor entry behaves like a "Dynamic" neighbor except it is saved into nvram and will be
recovered after a reboot.
Route to Neighboring ViPRs
 Hop Count and Next Hop
Indicates the route the remote ViPR can be reached - when HOP COUNT is 1, the device can
be reached directly. When HOP COUNT is more than 1, it can be reached by passing though
another ViPR as identified by the NEXT HOP field.
CONTROL OPERATIONS
 Clear List
Clears the entries in the list and routing tables. If Auto-Scan is enabled, the neighbor list
will be repopulated automatically. If Manual-Scan is enabled, the neighbor list can be
repopulated by clicking the “Force Scan” button.
 Force Scan
Starts the Scanning for Neighbors process.
 Test Connectivity
Pings each ViPR in the list to ensure an RF path between the units.
 Add Static Entry
By pressing the “Add Static Entry” button, a popup appears and the user can edit the static
neighbor entry. When a Static Neighbor entry is created, all routes to that neighbor are
created. User must then press “Apply” and “Save Config” buttons for entry to be added to
the network Routing Table.
NOTE:
Static Entries can replace dynamic entries.
Static neighbor entries do not age out.
Static neighbor entries are stored even when neighbor discovery is disabled.
