CONFIGURATION OVERVIEW

The amount of configuration depends on the complexity of your deployment. As you can see in "Deployment

Examples (CLI)" on page 161, you can enter a minimum of three commands to deploy a single HiveAP, and just a few

more to deploy a hive.

However, for cases when you need to fine tune access control for more complex environments, HiveOS offers a rich

set of CLI commands. The configuration of HiveAPs falls into two main areas: "Device-Level Configurations" and

"Policy-Level Configurations" on page 156. Consider your deployment plans and then refer to the following sections

for guidance on the commands you need to configure them.

Device-Level Configurations

Device-level configurations refer to the management of a HiveAP and its connectivity to wireless clients, the wired

network, and other hive members. The following list contains some key areas of device-level configurations and

relevant commands.

• Management

• Administrators, admin authentication method, login parameters, and admin privileges

admin { auth | manager-ip | min-password-length | read-only | read-write |

root-admin } …
