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

Hi @Andreas Brück

A possible workaround in order to apply a custom radio profile to multiple APs could be (could be = it worked in HiveManager Connect)

"Monitor --> Select your APs by relevant checkboxes --> <Click on edit button> --> Interface settings --> Wireless Interfaces --> WiFi0/1 --> Radio Profile".

Before saving and pushing the new configuration (I used delta update, if you're wondering about) please pay attention to the SSID fields (in HM Connect those fields were filled with my login data, I don't know if it's a bug or whatever, but at any rate I cleared them before saving).

Let me know if that helps.

Thanks for clarification and I'm glad you can solve.

Additionally: On the on-premise Hivemanger i didn't have the bug with the SSID fields.

Hi Marco,

i tested both methods. The first method with the device templates does not work for me. If i checked the device configuration everything seems to be ok (see screenshot). My new device template was listed, but the radio profile was not changed on any access point. I also deactivated the auto-provisioning rules for the access point type, which was recommended in your documentation.

Sadly, i have no menu entry "classification rules". Maybe it is not supported on the on-premise Hivemanger or the software version is to old.

The second method worked for me! Thank you very much for your help Marco!
