Through HiveManager, you can configure two broad types of features:
• Policy-level features – In combination, these features form policies that control how users access the network:
SSIDs, user profiles, QoS forwarding mechanisms and rates, hives, AAA (authentication, authorization,
accounting) services, management services (DNS, NTP, SNMP, and syslog), tunnel policies, IP and MAC firewall
policies, and VLAN assignments.
• Device-level features – These features control how hive members communicate with the network and how
radios operate in different modes, frequencies, and signal strengths.
A WLAN policy is an assembly of policy-level feature configurations that HiveManager pushes to all HiveAPs that you
assign to the policy. Because these configurations are policy-based, they can apply across multiple physical devices.
In contrast, device-level configurations are more appropriately applied to smaller sets of devices or to individual
devices themselves.
In this example, you create a WLAN policy that includes the SSID and hive configured in the previous two examples.
Although the New WLAN Policy dialog box consists of several pages, for this basic configuration, you only need to
configure items on the first page (see
Figure 2 ).
Figure 2 WLAN policy general settings
Click Configuration > WLAN Policies > New, enter the following on the first page of the new WLAN policy dialog
box, leave all the other settings as they are, and then click Save:
Name: wlan-policy-test1 (You cannot use spaces in the WLAN policy name.)
Description: Test WLAN policy for learning how to use the GUI; remove later
Hive: hive1-test (The hive was previously configured in
"Example 2: Creating a Hive" on page 127 .)
SSID Profiles: Click Add/Remove SSID Profile, choose test1-psk in the Available SSID Profiles list, click the right
arrow ( > ) to move it to the Selected SSID Profiles list, and then click Apply. (The SSID was previously
configured in
"Example 1: Defining an SSID" on page 124 .)
The creation of a WLAN policy that puts the HiveAPs to which you apply it in a hive and provides them with an SSID
is complete. In the following examples, you deploy several HiveAPs on a network, accept them for HiveManager
management, and then apply the WLAN policy to them.
