A management service set consists of DNS, syslog, SNMP, and NTP services. HiveAPs use these services for network
communications and logging activities.
In this example, you configure two management service sets, one for each of the device groups that are explained
in
"Example 7: Creating Two Device Groups" on page
and the other at the remote branch office, the management services need to be slightly different. Using the clone
capabilities in the HiveManager GUI, you configure the management service set for HQ ("MGT Services - HQ"), clone
it, and modify just the DNS server settings.
For the management services set "hq", you define parameters for the following services:
•
Two DNS (Domain Name Service) servers—one primary and one secondary DNS server—both at headquarters.
•
One syslog server and one SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) server—both at headquarters. The
HiveAPs at the branch office connect to these through a VPN tunnel.
•
One NTP (Network Time Protocol) server—located on the public network. HiveAPs synchronize the time on their
system clocks with this server.
For the management services set "branch", you clone "hq" and just change the parameters for the two DNS servers:
•
Two DNS servers—The primary DNS server is at the branch site, and the secondary server is at headquarters. The
HiveAPs query the secondary server through a VPN tunnel if queries to the local primary server elicit no replies.
•
Syslog and SNMP servers (Same as "hq")
•
NTP server (Same as "hq")
