Command History
Command Information
Portal By default, this column displays the BSSID of the mesh point. If you include the optional names
parameter, this column will display AP names, if available. The AP names will include [p]
(parent), or [c] (child) suffixes to indicate the role of the mesh BSSID.
Channel Number of a radio channel used by the AP.
Age Number of seconds elapsed since the AP heard from the neighbor.
Hops Indicates the number of hops it takes traffic from the mesh node to get to the mesh portal.
The mesh portal advertises a hop count of 0, while all other mesh nodes advertise a cumulative
count based on the parent mesh node
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).
Relation Shows the relationship between the specified AP and the AP on the neighbor list and the
amount of time that relationship has existed.
z P = Parent
z C = Child
z N = Neighbor
z B = Blacklisted-neighbor
Flags This parameter shows additional information about the mesh neighbor. The key describing
each flag appears at the bottom of the neighbor list.
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 neighbor transmits data to or receives data from the mesh-node
specified by the command.
A-Req Number of association requests from clients
A-Resp Number of association responses from the mesh node
A-Fail Number of association failures
Cluster Name of the Mesh cluster that includes the specified AP or BSSID.
Version Modification
ArubaOS 3.0 Command introduced
ArubaOS 3.4.1 The names parameter was introduced. The output of this command was also modified to
include the Rate Tx/Rx column.
Platforms Licensing Command Mode
All platforms This show command is available in the
base operating system. Commands to
configure the mesh feature require the
Mesh license.
