show ap mesh link

Radio used for the mesh link.

MAC address of the mesh node.

By default, this column displays the BSSID of the mesh point. If you include the optional names parameter, this column will display Instant AP names, if available. The Instant AP names will include [p] (parent), or [c] (child) suffixes to indicate the role of the mesh BSSID.

Number of a radio channel used by the Instant AP.

Number of seconds elapsed since the Instant AP heard from the neighbor.

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.

A relative measure of the quality of the path from the Instant AP to the controller. A lower number indicates a better quality path, where a higher number indicates a less favorable path (For example, 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).

Shows the relationship between the specified Instant AP and the Instant AP on the neighbor list and the amount of time that relationship has existed.

• P = Parent
• C = Child
• N = Neighbor
• B = Blacklisted-neighbor/denylisted-neighbor

This parameter shows additional information about the mesh neighbor. The key describing each flag is displayed at the bottom of the neighbor list.

The 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 neighbor transmits data to or receives data from the mesh-node specified by the command.

Number of association requests from clients.

Number of association responses from the mesh node.

Number of association failures.
