If your only experience has been with controllers that were only configured with centralized forwarding, an Aerohive deployment is going to look a lot different as you will move from using access or single VLAN switch ports to using 802.1q trunk ports. If you have experience with wireless vendors that use local forwarding from each AP, then you are already accustomed to having APs connected to switch ports configured as 802.1q links/trunks. Configuration between the 3 different models is relatively the same. Although there are 3 different deployment options for HiveManager(public cloud, private cloud, single VM), this post utilizes the public cloud option. It is also worth noting that this post utilizes the public cloud/Internet option for HiveManager. However, the nature of the rapid pace at which HiveManager is updated means that things could change that alter the configuration flow. At the time of publishing(December 2018), these are the steps needed to put in AP into operation.

Rather, it is meant to be a starting point in which the reader is introduced to the overall configuration mechanisms within HiveManager at a high level.

This post is not meant to be an exhaustive reference, as there are MANY things that can be configured. This post is meant to serve as a starting point to take that AP and put some configuration on it so that you can start connecting clients.

If you have never dealt with Aerohive before from a wireless perspective, you might be asking yourself how to configure the AP. Whether through a purchase or demo gear, you have your hands on an Aerohive AP.
