    Chapter 3 Using HiveManager You can conceptualize the Aerohive cooperative control architecture as consisting of three broad planes of communication. On the data plane, wireless clients gain network access by forming associations with HiveAPs. On the control plane, HiveAPs communicate with each other to coordinate functions such as best-path forwarding, fast roaming, and automatic RF (radio frequency) management.

Because the MAC addresses of all HiveAPs begin with the Aerohive MAC OUI 00:19:77, you only need to record the last six numbers in the address. For example, if the MAC OUI is 0019:7700:0120, you only need to write "000120" to be able to distinguish it from other HiveAPs later.

  • Page 42: Example 2: Defining Network Objects

    In this example, you define a MAC OUI object for the type of VoIP (Voice over IP) phones in use in the network and assign it to Aerohive class 6. After you configure QoS (Quality of Service) settings for voice traffic, HiveAPs can then use the OUI to distinguish voice traffic so that they can prioritize it (see "Example 3: Defining User Profiles and QoS...
  • Page 43 Mapping the MAC OUI and Services to Aerohive Classes Map VoIP phone MAC OUIs to Aerohive class 6 so that you can give voice traffic higher priority than other types of traffic. Because voice traffic is delay-sensitive, you need to make sure that the HiveAPs forward voice traffic immediately.

  • Page 81: Example 4: Applying Qos

    In this example, you want the hive members to prioritize voice, streaming media, and e-mail traffic. First, you map distinguishing elements of these traffic types to three Aerohive QoS (Quality of Service) classes: Class 6: voice traffic from VoIP phones with MAC OUI 00:12:3b (the OUI for all phones in the network) Voice traffic is very sensitive to delay and cannot tolerate packet loss without loss of voice quality.
  • Page 82 Chapter 6 Deployment Examples (CLI) Note: The HiveAP assigns all traffic that you do not specifically map to an Aerohive class to class 2, which by default uses WRR with a weight of 30 and a rate of 54,000 Kbps.
  • Page 83 The MMS (Microsoft Media Server) protocol can use several transports (UDP, TCP , and HTTP). However, for a HiveAP to be able to map a service to an Aerohive QoS class, it must be able to identify that service by a unique characteristic such as a static destination port number or a nonstandard protocol number.
  • Page 84 Aerohive QoS classes 0, 1, 2, 4, and 7, the policy applies default settings to them. The HiveAP assigns all traffic that you do not specifically map to an Aerohive class to class 2, which uses WRR with a weight of 30 and a rate of 54,000 Kbps by default.

  • Page 86 When there is more traffic than available bandwidth, the HiveAP applies the "voice" policy. It performs strict forwarding for voice and uses a WRR (weighted round robin) scheduling discipline for directing streaming media and data traffic to queues to await forwarding.
