Aerohive QuickStart

for the HiveAP 100 Series

This QuickStart guide explains how to set up a HiveAP 100 series device as a managed HiveAP and

how to mount it on a ceiling or wall.

Some other network devices (They

might all be incorporated in the same

device, such as a router or rewall.)

Ethernet

Cable

2If the switch provides

PoE (Power-over-

Ethernet), cabling the

HiveAP to the switch

will cause the HiveAP

to power on in a few

seconds.

If the switch does not

provide PoE, use the

AC/DC power adaptor

(available as an

accessory) to connect

the HiveAP to a 100-

240 AC power source.

Eth0

Connect a standard Ethernet

cable with RJ-45 connectors

from ETH0 on the HiveAP to

a switch.

Connecting to HiveManager

3Cable the HiveAP to an Ethernet network—a HiveAP connected directly to the network

like this is called a portal (P)—or place it within radio range of a portal so that it forms

a wireless link through the portal to the wired network. This kind of HiveAP is called a

mesh point (MP). By default, a HiveAP acts as a DHCP client and gets its network settings

automatically from a DHCP server. (You can also congure it with static network settings

through the CLI. See the next section, "Using the Virtual Access Console".)

CAPWAP (Control and Provisioning of Wireless Access Points) is a protocol that access points

use to contact a management device and communicate with it. After getting its network

settings through DHCP, the HiveAP then acts as a CAPWAP client and sends CAPWAP Discovery

messages until HiveManager, acting as the CAPWAP server, responds. A mesh point initially

forms a hive with its portal using a default hive called hive0. Through this link, the mesh

point can reach the network and get its network settings from the DHCP server. Then it can

form a CAPWAP connection with HiveManager. (To add mesh points after changing the hive

name, rst connect them to the wired network. Next, push the conguration with the new

hive name and password to them from HiveManager. Finally, deploy them as mesh points.)

P/N 330026-02 Rev. A

The HiveAP 100 can form a CAPWAP connection to HiveManager in one of these ways:

aHiveManager Online (its domain name

is precongured on the HiveAP)

If the HiveManager Online domain name is

precongured on the HiveAP as the CAPWAP

server, the HiveAP makes a secure CAPWAP

connection to it by sending unicast Discovery

Request messages to that domain name. Make

sure that the rewall allows the following

outgoing trafc: CAPWAP (UDP port 12222) for

management trafc and SSHv2 (TCP port 22) for

HiveOS image and full conguration uploads.

First, HiveAP portals and mesh points access

a DHCP server to get their network settings;

that is, unless you congure them yourself.

Using the Virtual Access Console

Using your wireless client,

scan for wireless networks.

If you are within range, an

SSID such as "AH-123456_ac"

appears.

Select the SSID, and when

prompted to enter a

network key, type aerohive,

and then click Connect.

Wireless

Client

The virtual access console is a way of accessing the CLI on a HiveAP wirelessly through a special

SSID that the HiveAP, by default, automatically activates for administrative access when it has

no conguration and cannot reach its default gateway. As explained in the previous section,

after connecting a HiveAP to the network and powering it on, it acts as a DHCP client and tries

to get its network settings automatically from a DHCP server in VLAN 1. However, if there is no

DHCP server in that VLAN, if the native VLAN for the network segment is not 1, or if you just

want to assign the HiveAP a static IP address, then you can access the CLI through the virtual

access console SSID and dene the network settings yourself.

The default virtual access console SSID name is “<hiveap-hostname>_ac”. The default host

name of a HiveAP consists of "AH-" plus the last six digits of its MAC address; for example,

AH-123456. In this case, the name of the default virtual access console SSID would be "AH-

123456_ac". By default, this SSID uses aerohive as the PSK (preshared key) for authenticating

user access. To access the virtual access console, do the following:

5Check the IP address of the

default gateway that the

DHCP server on the HiveAP

assigned your client. Then

make an SSH or

Telnet connection

to the HiveAP at that IP

address. When prompted to

enter your credentials, enter

the default Aerohive login name

(admin) and password (aerohive).

C:\>telnet 1.1.1.1

If the HiveManager system is in a different

subnet, add a DNS A or host record that

resolves "hivemanager" to the HiveManager IP

address. By default, HiveAPs perform a DNS

lookup to resolve "hivemanager.<domain>" to

an IP address, where <domain> is the domain

that the DHCP server assigns the HiveAPs.

The HiveAPs then make a secure CAPWAP

connection with the HiveManager system at

that domain name.

Note: For further options, see "Connecting to the CAPWAP Server" in the HiveOS and

HiveManager release notes.

Different Subnets (DNS Resolution)

bSame Subnet (Automatic Discovery) If the HiveAP does not have the HiveManager

IP address or domain name in its conguration,

it broadcasts CAPWAP Discovery Request

messages until it receives a response from a

HiveManager system in the same broadcast

domain. The two devices then form a secure

CAPWAP connection.

Status LEDs

The status indicator has been incorporated into the Aerohive logo on the top of the

HiveAP 110 and 120. It is illuminated by various colors to indicate different states of

activity. The meanings of the colors are explained below.

• Dark: There is no power or the status indicator is disabled.

• Blue: (solid) The device is booting up or there is no backhaul link; (ashing) the

device is shutting downy

• Green: The default route is through the backhaul Ethernet interface, but not all

conditions for normal operations (white) have been met.

• Yellow: The default route is through a backhaul wi interface, but not all

conditions for normal operations (white) have been met.

• White: The device is powered on and the rmware is operating normally; that

is, a wireless interface in access mode is up, a wired or wireless backhaul link

is up, and the HiveAP has a CAPWAP connection to either HiveManager or a

management AP.

• Purple: A new image is being loaded from HiveManager or a management AP.

• Orange: An alarm indicating a rmware or hardware issue has occurred.

For locations where the status indicator might be a distraction or attract unwanted

attention, you can adjust its brightness level from bright (the default) to soft to dim.

You can even turn it off completely. In HiveManager, choose the brightness level that

you want from the LED Brightness drop-down list on the Conguration > Management

Services > Management Options page. Through the CLI, enter [ no ] system led

brightness { soft | dim | off }. The four settings are shown below.

6After logging in to the virtual access console, you can view the status of various

functions and make conguration changes. Here are some commonly used commands.

Use these commands: To do the following:

show interface Check the status of both wired and

wireless interfaces

show interface mgt0 See the network settings (IP address,

netmask, default gateway) and VLAN ID

of the mgt0 interface

no interface mgt0 dhcp client Disable the DHCP client

interface mgt0 ip <ip_addr>

Set the IP address and netmask of the

mgt0 interface

interface mgt0 native-vlan <id> Set the native (untagged) VLAN that the

switch infrastructure in the surrounding

wired and wireless network uses

show capwap client See CAPWAP client settings and status

P/N 330026-02 Rev. A

Using the track clip, you can mount the HiveAP to the tracks of a dropped ceiling grid. Using just a

pair of screws, you can mount the HiveAP to any at surface that can support its weight (1.75 lb.,

0.8 kg). Both mounting options are explained below.

Mounting the HiveAP

Note: In addition to these methods, you can also mount the HiveAP on a table using the set

of four rubber feet that ship with the product. Simply peel the rubber feet off the

adhesive sheet and press them against the underside of the HiveAP in its four corners.

To mount the HiveAP to a track in a dropped ceiling, use the appropriate track clip for the width

of the ceiling track. Two clips ship with the HiveAP: one for 1"-wide (2.54 cm) tracks and one for

1/2"-wide (1.27 cm) tracks.

When you have the HiveAP in the correct location, cut or drill a hole in the ceiling through

which you can then pass the Ethernet and power cables. Pass the cables through the hole and

attach them to the HiveAP. When done, adjust the ceiling tiles back into position.

You can attach the HiveAP to any at surface that supports its weight. First, attach two screws to

the surface. Then, make a hole in the wall a few inches or centimeters above the screws so that

you can pass the cables through the wall to the HiveAP. Finally, attach the device to the screws,

and connect the cables.

Instead of passing the cables through a hole in the wall, you can also simply run them along the

wall from the port side of the HiveAP, which is located at the top of the device when it is mounted

on a wall.

Locking the HiveAP

To lock the HiveAP to a secure object, use a Kensington lock and cable. Loop the cable around

a securely anchored object, insert the Kensington lock in the device lock slot in the HiveAP, and

engage the locking mechanism.

aPosition the clip so one tab is over the

edge of the ceiling track. (Note that the

ceiling track is shown as transparent.)

The two prongs press upward against

the middle of the ceiling track.

Press the other tab upward, exing

the prongs against the track until

the tab clears the edge of the track.

1Nudge the ceiling tiles slightly away from the track to clear some space, and slide one

tab of the track clip over the edge of the track. Making sure that the tips of the track

clip prongs are positioned against the middle of the track, press upward on the other

tab until it clears the track edge. Keeping the prongs away from the track edges until

both tabs grip the track ensures that the clip does not snap into place prematurely

with only one tab in position.

2Twist the clip until the prongs snap into place and grip the edges of the track.

3If necessary, slide the clip along the track to position it exactly where you want it to be.

4With the HiveAP upside down, lift it until the threaded stud on the track clip enters the

hole in the HiveAP. Revolve the HiveAP until it is securely attached to the clip.

HiveAP

Position two #6 or #8 screws 2" (5 cm)

apart and fasten them to a secure object

such as a wall, post, or beam.

Cut or drill a hole in the wall 1 - 2" (2.5 - 5

cm) above the screws to pass the cables

through to the HiveAP.

Position the HiveAP so that the screws enter

the two upper keyhole-shaped slots on the

underside of the HiveAP. Then push the

HiveAP downward to lock it in place.

Connect the cables to the HiveAP.

Depending on the deployment, you might

connect one or two Ethernet cables and a

power cable.

Mount the HiveAP on a wall as explained below.

The following are some tips and suggestions to help you troubleshoot a few common problems

that might arise when setting up the HiveAP 340:

• If the client fails to authenticate to an SSID using a PSK (preshared key), check that the

PSK on the client matches that on the HiveAP and reset one or both keys if necessary.

• If you manage the HiveAP through HiveManager Online and it does not show up on the

Monitor > Access Points > HiveAPs page, do the following:

– Check that the HiveAP is congured with the correct HiveManager Online URL and

VHM (virtual HiveManager) name, and set them if necessary. Use the capwap

commands explained elsewhere in this document.

– Check connectivity to HiveManager Online: ping hm-online.aerohive.com

– Check that the correct HiveAP serial number appears in the Selected Serial Numbers

table on the Conguration > Advanced Conguration > HiveAP Auto Provisioning >

ProvisionFor340 page. If not, click SNManagement on the HiveAP Auto Provisioning

page, and then either click ImportSN to import the serial number stored in a .csv

formatted le, or click ScanSN to enter it manually. If the serial number still does

not appear, contact Aerohive Support.

• If a client cannot form an association, check that the client is within range and that it is

congured to use the same authentication method as the SSID. For example, if the client

is congured to use Open or WEP authentication but the SSID is set for WPA or WPA2, the

client will not be able to associate with the HiveAP. To see the security settings for an

SSID, click WLAN>CongureWLAN/SSID, and look at the key management, encryption

and authentication methods, and SSID type listed in the table at the bottom of the page.

• If the client associates and authenticates itself, but the HiveAP cannot forward trafc,

check that the HiveAP is assigning the correct user prole and, if so, that it is also

assigning the correct VLAN. To see the user prole and VLAN that a HiveAP assigns a

client, enter show ssid <string> station, and check the UPID (user prole ID) and

VLAN columns. If those are correct, then check that the client has received its network

settings through DHCP. To check connectivity to the DHCP server, make a console or SSH

connection to the HiveAP, send a probe, and see if it elicits a response: interface

mgt0 dhcp-probe vlan-range <vlan1> <vlan2>.Also check that the VLAN

conguration for the port on the connecting switch is correct.

To remove all settings and return the conguration to its factory default settings, enter the

reset cong command or use a pin to press the Reset button on the chassis and hold it

down for at least 5 seconds.
