How can i deploy new radio profiles for running access points?

[andreas_brueck]

Hello everybody,

we are using the on-premises Hivemanager NG (build version 12.8.1.2-NGVAMAY18 ) and a lot of AP230, AP250 and AP1130 (HiveOS 8.3r4 Mayberry build-195604 ).

I want to change the default radio profile to a customized one. But i do not know how i can deploy it easily (like deploying a network policy) to all access points. Is there any way to do this?

I just found a way to do it for each access point seperately via "Monitor --> Devices --> <Choose one Device> --> Configuration --> Interface Settings --> Wireless Interfaces --> WiFi0/1 --> Radio Profile". But if i need to do it for 430 APs, it will spend a lot of time. Furthermore, if i do it for each AP seperately, it is necessary to do any further steps, for example to reboot the AP or something else?

I am a newbie in using Hivemanager. I hope you can help me. If anyone have links to good documentations, please let me know. Thank you in advance.

Regards,

Andreas

I just followed this guide

http://docs.aerohive.com/330000/docs/help/english/ng/Content/gui/configuration/configuring-ap-device-template.htm

Btw, after deployed my policy, in the Monitor tab my APs look like so:

If you don't see the custom template in your one, I guess something went wrong when deploy: given you're running HM on premise, I suspect the difference may lie in the "Classification rules" (formerly "assignment rules") you may have on it.

As said I'm running Connect (much simplified UI), so I cannot help, but you can find your current classification rules (if any) under "Configure --> Common Objects --> --> Policies --> Classification Rules".

Hey Marco,

thanks for your quick answer. I tried your suggestion:

1. I created a new template for AP230 (clone from default AP230 template)
2. I edited it for my needs (change radio profiles from "radio_ng_ng0" to "Klon-HBRS_24g" and "radio_ng_ac0" to "Klon-HBRS_5ac").
3. After that i deployed it to an Access Point (Complete Configuration Update).
4. Sadly with no success. If i checked the device on the Hivemanager Monitor the AP is using the old radio profiles. Same result if i checked it on the CLI (show int wifi0).

Maybe i am missing something or i do something wrong? Do you have any idea?

Ehm... It's not "Interfice Settings" but "Device Configuration" (I don't know how to edit a previous message)

On HiveManager Connect I do

"Configure --> Network Policies --> <Choose your policy> --> Device Templates --> <Choose your template> --> Interface Settings --> Wireless Interfaces --> WiFi0/1 --> Radio Profile".

Hope this may help.
