INSTALLING AND CONNECTING TO THE HIVEMANAGER GUI
Connecting to the GUI through the MGT Interface
1. Connect Ethernet cables from the MGT interface and LAN interface—if you are using it—to the network.
2. Connect an Ethernet cable from your management system to the network so that you can make an HTTPS
connection to the IP address that you set for the MGT interface.
3. Open a web browser and enter the IP address of the MGT interface in the address field. For example, if you
changed the IP address to 10.1.1.8, enter this in the address field: https://10.1.1.8
A login prompt appears.
4. Type the default user name (admin) and password (aerohive) in the login fields, and then click Login.
5. If prompted to enter a license key, click Browse, navigate to and select the text file containing the license key
that Aerohive provided when HiveManager was purchased, and then click OK.
You are now logged in to the HiveManager GUI. After logging in, you can check details about the license you
installed on the HM Admin > License Management page.
Note: If you ever forget the IP address of the MGT interface and cannot make an HTTP connection to
HiveManager, make a serial connection to its console port and enter this command: ifconfig. The
output displays data about the MGT interface (internally called "eth0"), including its IP address. The
serial connection settings are explained in "Changing Network Settings" on page 79.
