EXAMPLE 6:SETTING MANAGEMENT SERVICE PARAMETERS

Management services include the settings for DNS, syslog, SNMP, NTP, and location servers. HiveAPs use these

services for network communications and logging activities. In addition, you can set HiveAP admin access

parameters.

In this example, you configure the management services that you later reference in WLAN policies (see "Example 9:

Creating WLAN Policies" on page126). Two WLAN policies are for HiveAPs at the corporate HQ site and the third is

for HiveAPs at the remote branch office. You define the following management services:

• Three DNS (Domain Name Service) servers—one primary server at HQ, one primary server at the branch site, and

one secondary server at HQ. HiveAPs at the branch site connect to the secondary DNS server through a VPN

tunnel.

Although there are three DNS servers, there are only two IP address objects. The IP address object for the

primary DNS server has two IP address definitions. By using the classifier tags "hq" and "branch1", all HiveAPs

deployed at headquarters and classified as "hq" use the "hq" address definition, while all those deployed at the

branch site and classified as "branch1" use the "branch1" definition. Because all HiveAPs use the secondary DNS

server (at headquarters), its IP address definition is classified as Global; that is, it is the same for all HiveAPs.

• One syslog server and one SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) server—both at headquarters. HiveAPs

at the branch office connect to these through a VPN tunnel.

• One NTP (Network Time Protocol) server—located on the public network. HiveAPs synchronize the time on their

system clocks with this server.

The various servers and their relationship to the two sites is shown in Figure15.
