EXAMPLE 2: DEFINING NETWORK OBJECTS AND MAC FILTERS
Creating IP Addresses
You use the IP addresses that you create here when defining management services for the HiveAPs (see "Example 6:
Setting Management Service Parameters" on page 120). The IP addresses are used for DNS, SNMP, syslog, and NTP
servers. To understand the locations of the different servers on the network, see Figure 15 on page 120.
DNS Servers
1. Click Configuration > Network Objects > IP Addresses > New, and after entering all the following, click Save:
•Address Name: DNS-Primary
Enter the following, and then click Apply:
— IP Address: 10.1.1.25
—Netmask: 255.255.255.255
—Type: Classifier
—Value: Tag 1: hq
By classifying the IP address definition as "hq" and then later classifying all HiveAPs deployed at
headquarters as "hq", only those HiveAPs will use the 10.1.1.25 address for their primary DNS
server.
—Description: Primary DNS server located at HQ
Enter the following, and then click Apply:
— IP Address: 10.2.2.251
—Netmask: 255.255.255.255
—Type: Classifier
—Value: Tag 1: branch1
By classifying the IP address definition as "branch1" and then later classifying all HiveAPs deployed
at the branch site as "branch1", only those HiveAPs will use the 10.2.2.251 address for their primary
DNS server. Classifying the different IP address definitions within the same IP address object allows
you to use this one object in multiple locations that have different addressing schemes.
2. Click Configuration > Network Objects > IP Addresses > New, and after entering all the following, click Save:
•Address Name: DNS-Secondary
Enter the following, and then click Apply:
— IP Address: 10.1.1.26
—Netmask: 255.255.255.255
—Type: Global
Because all the HiveAPs at both the headquarters and branch site use the same secondary DNS
server, you classify it as Global. The server is located at headquarters and HiveAPs at the branch
site reach it through a VPN tunnel.
