ZigBee Coordinators and Routers maintain a routing table in memory which is used to establish a route to a particular destination device.

Note: This command is not valid for End Devices.

Command Definitions

Count: Number of entries to include in Route Table. Maximum number of indexes = 20

Start Index: Starting index within the Route Table to begin reporting.

Index Number: Index location of radio in Route Table.

Destination Address: The 16-bit NWK address of the route.

Next Hop Address: The 16-bit NWK address of the next radio on the way to the destination.

Expiry Time: A countdown timer indicating the number of seconds until route expires. Expiry Time is set to 0x1E (30s) when a new route is created.

Status: The status of the route.

Command will faile if the maximum requested entries is greater than 20.
