show ap mesh neighbors

show ap mesh neighbors {ap-name }|{bssid }|{ip-addr } [names]

Description

This command shows all mesh neighbors for an AP.

Parameter

Description

ap-name

Show mesh neighbors for an AP with a specific name.

bssid

Show mesh neighbors for a specific BSSID on an AP. The BSSID is usually the AP’s MAC address.

ip-addr

Show mesh neighbors for an AP with a specific IP address by entering its IP address in dotted-decimal format.

names

If you include this optional parameter, thePortalcolumn in the output of this command will translate the BSSIDs of mesh parent and child APs to AP names (where available).

Example

In the example below, the output has been split into two tables to better fit on the page. In the actual CLI, the output appears in a single, wide table.

TheFlagscolumn in the output of this command indicates the high-throughput (HT) properties of the mesh node. In the example below, the string “HT-40MHzsgi-2ss” indicates that the node uses a 40MHz channel with a short guard interval (sgi) and sends 2 spatial streams (ss) ( For versions prior toArubaOS8.9.0.0).

The output of this command includes the following information:

Column

Description

Radio

Identifies which radio the mesh neighbor belongs to.

MAC

MAC address of the mesh node.

AP Name

(ArubaOS8.9.0.0 or later versions)

Name of the mesh AP.

Portal

By default, this column displays the BSSID of the mesh point. If you include the optionalnamesparameter, 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.

Band

(ArubaOS8.9.0.0 or later versions)

The radio band for the mesh 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 thecontroller. 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.

  • P= Parent
  • C=孩子
  • N= Neighbor
  • B= Blacklisted-neighbor /Denylisted-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 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

协会反应从网格节点的数量

A-Fail

Number of association failures

Cluster

Name of the Mesh cluster that includes the specified AP or BSSID.
