NodeStatus

simple module

Keeps track of the status of the network node (up, down, etc.) for other modules, and also displays it as a small overlay icon on this module and on the module of the network node.

Inheritance diagram

The following diagram shows inheritance relationships for this type. Unresolved types are missing from the diagram.

Used in compound modules

Name	Type	Description
AccessPoint	compound module	A wireless access point device that connects wireless stations (like WirelessHost) to a wired network. Supports multiple wireless radios and multiple Ethernet ports.
EthernetHost	compound module	A simplified network device that communicates directly over Ethernet without higher layer protocols like IP or TCP. It provides a basic host model for Ethernet-only simulations.
EthernetSwitch	compound module	EthernetSwitch models a Layer 2 Ethernet switch with support for various IEEE 802.1 protocols and features. It provides frame forwarding based on MAC addresses and implements multiple switching technologies.
LdpMplsRouter	compound module	An LDP-capable router.
NodeBase	compound module	The fundamental infrastructure for all network nodes focusing on non-communication aspects of network nodes.
RsvpMplsRouter	compound module	An RSVP-TE capable router.

Extends
