Chapter 11 The HiveManager Platform

The HiveManager Network Management System provides centralized configuration, monitoring, and

reporting for multiple Aerohive devices. The following are a few of the many benefits that HiveManager
offers:
•

Simplified installations and management of up to 500 devices

•

Profile-based configurations that simplify the deployment of large numbers of devices

•

Scheduled firmware upgrades on devices by location

•

Exportation of detailed information on devices for reporting

This chapter covers the following topics related to the HiveManager platform:
•

"Product Overview" on page 104

•

"Ethernet and Console Ports" on page 105

•

"Status LEDs" on page 105

•

"Rack Mounting the HiveManager" on page 106
