host device
Interface - for devices connected through a clear interface
on the current Bridge, the Bridge interface the host device
is connected through. If the host was learned from a remote
Bridge with a wireless bridging link to the current Bridge,

(mesh radio port) link resides.
NOTE: Device IDs

ers that enable device
authentication on the
Bridge-secured net-
work (Section 5.3).
Device ID - for devices connected through a clear interface
on a remote Bridge, the Fortress Device ID of the remote
Bridge the host device is connected through.
Device ID
does not apply to hosts connected through a clear interface
on the current Bridge, unless the connected host is another
Fortress Bridge (or controller device).
Auth State - for devices connected through a clear interface
on a remote Bridge, the state of the remote Bridge’s
network authentication process. Possible values include:
Unknown - connected, not yet ready to proceed
Initial - ready to proceed, waiting for controller device to
respond
Started - response received, authentication in process
