Chapter 7Using HiveManager
You can conceptualize the Aerohive cooperative control architecture as consisting of three broad planes of
communication. On the data plane, wireless clients gain network access by forming associations with HiveAPs. On
the control plane, HiveAPs communicate with each other to coordinate functions such as best-path forwarding, fast
roaming, and automatic RF (radio frequency) management. On the management plane, HiveManager provides
centralized configuration, monitoring, and reporting of multiple HiveAPs. These three planes are shown in Figure1.
Figure 1 Three Communication Planes in the Aerohive Cooperative Control Architecture
As you can see in Figure1, HiveManager operates solely on the management plane. Any loss of connectivity between
HiveManager and the HiveAPs it manages only affects HiveAP manageability; such a loss has no impact on
communications occurring on the control and data planes.
