When a HiveAP ships from the factory, it is loaded with a default config file, which acts initially as the running and
current configs. If you enter and save any commands, the HiveAP then stores a separate config file as the current
config, combining the default settings with the commands you entered and saved. If you want to return to the
default settings, you can press the reset button (see
"Reset Button" on page 29 , page 51 , and page 73 ) or enter the
reset config
command. A HiveAP might also return to the default config if both the current and backup configs
fail to load, which might happen if you update the HiveOS firmware to an image that cannot work with either
config.
Reverting to the default config can be very useful, especially in the early stages when you are still learning about
HiveOS and are likely to be experimenting with different settings. However, retaining the ability of a HiveAP to
revert to its default settings after its deployment can present a problem if it is a mesh point in a hive. If the HiveAP
reverts to the default config, it will not be able to rejoin its hive. Consequently, it will not be able to get an IP
address through DHCP nor be able to communicate with HiveManager (assuming that you are managing it through
HiveManager). In this case, you would have to make a serial connection to the console port on the HiveAP and
reconfigure its hive settings through the CLI.
To avoid the above situation, you can use a bootstrap config. A bootstrap config is typically a small config file that
comes last in the boot order (current – backup – bootstrap) and that replaces the default config as the one a HiveAP
loads when you reset the configuration. See
Figure 6 on page 180 .
Note: To upload and activate a config file from HiveManager , see "Uploading HiveAP Configurations" on
page 137 . To upload and activate a config file from a TFTP or SCP server using the CLI, use the following
commands:
save config tftp:// ip_addr : filename current { hh : mm : ss | now | offset hh : mm : ss }
save config scp:// username @ ip_addr : filename current { hh : mm : ss | now | offset
hh : mm : ss }
Note: You can disable the ability of the reset button to reset the configuration by entering this command:
no
reset-button reset-config-enable
Note: Be careful to remember the login name and password defined in the bootstrap config file. If they become
lost or forgotten, you must obtain a one-time login key from Aerohive technical support. To get the key,
you must already have had a support contract in place. The first one-time login key is free. After that,
there is a small handling fee for each additional key.
