Chapter 4 HiveManager Examples
36 Aerohive
This chapter contains a sequential flow of examples that show how to import and organize maps, configure typically
needed features, assign these features to HiveAPs, and associate HiveAPs with maps. The examples are as follows:
• "Example 1: Mapping Locations and Installing HiveAPs" on page37
Use one of two ways to associate physical HiveAPs with their corresponding icons on topology maps.
• "Example 2: Defining Network Objects" on page42
Define a MAC OUI (organizationally unique identifier) and MAC filter so that QoS classifiers, SSID profiles,
and device groups can reference them. You also map the MAC OUI and several services to Aerohive classes.
• "Example 3: Defining User Profiles and QoS Settings" on page45
Define several user profiles and their companion QoS forwarding rates and priorities.
• "Example 4: Setting SSID Profiles" on page49
Define sets of authentication and encryption services that wireless clients and HiveAPs use when
communicating with each other.
• "Example 5: Setting Management Service Parameters" on page52
Configure DNS, syslog, SNMP, and NTP settings for HiveAPs.
• "Example 6: Setting AAA RADIUS Settings" on page55
Define the AAA RADIUS server connection settings to which HiveAPs send authentication requests.
• "Example 7: Creating Two Device Groups" on page57
Define device groups, which are collections of features defined in previous examples through which HiveAPs
control how wireless clients access the network.
• "Example 8: Creating Three Hive Profiles" on page60
Create hive profiles so that sets of HiveAPs can exchange information with each other over a layer-2
switched network to coordinate client access, provide best-path forwarding, and enforce QoS policies.
• "Example 9: Assigning HiveAPs to a Device Group, Radio Profile, Hive Profile, and Topology Map" on page61
Assign previously defined configurations to detected HiveAPs so that you can begin managing them through
the HiveManager.
