Local Status
There are five states of operation reported in the local status section of the tab: Ready, Scanning for Neighbors, Saving
Neighbor Table, Testing Connectivity, or Disabled.
– Ready. The Neighbor Discovery module is in the Ready state when it is not scanning for other units. If the Viper is
operating in Manual Scan, it does nothing. If the Viper is operating in the Auto-Scan, it monitors the keep-alive
packets of other units and sends its own keep-alive packet periodically.
– Scanning For Neighbors. The Neighbor Discovery module is trying to learn about other units. Other units are
learning about this unit.
– Saving Neighbor Table. In this state, the Viper is saving all neighbor entries of the type Dynamic into nonvolatile
memory. When the save is complete, all these entries are now of type Locked. This state only occurs when the
Neighbor Discovery module is operating in Manual Scan mode.
– Testing Connectivity. The Neighbor Discovery module is verifying that the units in the neighbor table are reachable
by sending them an alive-request and waiting for an alive-response. Round-trip time must not exceed ten (10)
seconds. The alive-request is only sent once.
– Disabled. The Neighbor Discovery module is disabled.
Local Status also reports the number of Neighboring Vipers Found and the Discovery Duration, which is the time it
took for the Viper to complete the neighbor-discovery learning process.
