COMMON DEFAULT SETTINGSAND COMMANDS
Many major components of HiveOS are automated and typically require no further configuration. For example, radio
power and frequency selection occurs automatically, as does route learning. Also, after defining a hive and its
security protocol suite, all HiveAPs belonging to that hive automatically initiate and maintain communications with
each other.
Additionally, there are many default settings that simplify the setup of a HiveAP because these are the typical
settings for many of the most common deployments. The following are some important default settings and the
commands necessary to change them if you need to do so:
Default Settings Commands
mgt0 interfaceDHCP client = enabled To disable the DHCP client:
no interface mgt0 dhcp client
To set an IP address:
interface mgt0 ip ip_addr netmask
VLAN ID = 1 To set a different VLAN ID:
interface mgt0 vlan number
wifi0 and wifi1
interfaces
wifi0 mode = access
wifi1 mode = backhaul
To change the mode of the wifi0 or wifi1 interface:
interface { wifi0 | wifi1 } mode { access
| backhaul }
wifi0 radio profile = radio_g0
wifi1 radio profile = radio_a0
To change the radio profile of the wifi0 or wifi1
interface to a different, previously defined profile:
interface { wifi0 | wifi1 } radio profile
string
antenna = internal To have the wifi0 interface use an external antenna:
interface { wifi0 | wifi1 } radioantenna
external
channel = automatic selectionTo set a specific radio channel:
interface { wifi0 | wifi1 } radiochannel
number
power = automatic selectionTo set a specific transmission power level (in dBms):
interface { wifi0 | wifi1 } radiopower
number
Default QoS policydef-user-qos policy:
user profile rate = 54,000 Kbps
user profile weight = 10
user rate limit = 54,000 Kbps
mode = weighted round robin for
Aerohive classes 0 - 5; strict
forwarding for classes 6 - 7
classes 0 - 4 rate limit = 54,000 Kbps
class 5 rate limit = 10,000 Kbps
classes 6 - 7 rate limit = 512 Kbps
To change the default QoS policy:

User profiledefault-profile:
group ID = 0
policy name = def-user-qos

You cannot change the group ID or QoS policy name
for the default user profile. To change its VLAN ID:
