FAQS AND TROUBLESHOOTING

Q. Does Aerohive work with Proxies? 

A.

Yes, although it is recommended that Aerohive management traffic be allowed to bypass proxy servers. The ports used by 

Aerohive devices are detailed in 

Step 3: Open Outbound Ports.

Q. After I push a network policy, the update fails and the device temporarily loses connectivity to HiveManager. Why is this?

A. 

If an Aerohive device is unable to establish HiveManager connectivity after a configuration push, it will revert to the last working 

configuration after 15 minutes. The most common cause is misconfigured DNS and NTP. In this situation, it is recommended to 
verify DNS and NTP settings within your Policy. They can be found under

select policy
