Column Parent Path Cost Node Cost Link Cost Hop Count RSSI Rate Tx/Rx Last Update Uplink Age #Children Description If the AP is operating as a mesh point, this parameter displays the name of its parent mesh portal. 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). 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. 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. Number of hops to the mesh portal. 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. 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. Time elapsed since the mesh node last updated its statistics. Time elapsed since the mesh node became active in the mesh topology. Number of children associated with a parent mesh point.
