Column Description
Path Cost
A relative measure of the quality of the path from the AP to the controller. A
lower number indicates a better quality path, where a higher number indicates
a less favorable path (e.g, a path which may be longer or more congested than
a path with a lower value.)
For a mesh point, the path cost is the sum of the (parent path cost) + (the
parent node cost) + (the link cost).
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
A relative measure of the quality of the link. For example, a more congested
link will have a higher link cost than a similar, less-congested link.
Hop Count
Number of hops to the mesh portal.
RSSI
The Receive Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) value displayed in the output of this
command represents signal strength as a signal to noise ratio. For example, a
value of 30 would indicate that the power of the received signal is 30 dBm
above the signal noise threshold.
Rate Tx/Rx
The rate, in Mbps, that a mesh point transmits and receives at on its uplink.
Note that the rate information is only as current as indicated in the Last
Update column.
Last Update
Time elapsed since the mesh node last updated its statistics.
Uplink Age
Time elapsed since the mesh node became active in the mesh topology.
#Children
Number of children associated with a parent mesh point.
