I'm coming from Ruckus Unleashed, trying out some Aerohive APs but have some questions.
- On Ruckus I can have a set of APs and they can all be managed through a single management IP even though I can ssh into each AP. Is it possible to do the same thing for Aerohive APs running under 10.8? I currently only have 1 AP installed. Will stats be shown for the entire hive or for that AP only?
- If I want to have other APs working in the same hive, would I just copy the relevant settings to the others and not change AP-specific settings like IP address and hostname, then connect the AP into a port with the same trunk definitions?
- When I configured the AP under the free CloudIQ account the default performance was limited to around 200 Mbps. It wasn't until I removed 11b, 11g, and 11a phymodes from the 5G radio profile, enabled band-steering, and set channel-width to 80 before I could get 700 Mbps. I'm currently using the gigabit eth1 port so understand ~700 Mbps is the best for my client (iPhone 12). On Ruckus no such tuning was necessary and standards compatibility was selected instead of performance. Is there something I've missed on Aerohive?
- Is there any configuration required for optimizing WiFi calling? There are specific levers on Unleashed for the major providers. On CloudIQ, under my SSIDs' Optional Settings there are 802.11[kvr] under Custom in Voice Enterprise but they are unchecked by default.
- The CloudIQ shows applications. It's easy to extract applications reporting app-stats then correlate that with 'application reporting applications' to get the overall usage, but where is the client information kept in the CLI? For example, CloudIQ shows Youtube along with total number of clients and users but app-stats only shows the app ID and aggregate packages and bytes.
- CloudIQ has configuration for SSID manageability like SSH, ping, Telnet, and SNMP under their Optional Settings's Traffic Filters. Only SSH, Ping, and Inter-station Traffic are checked. How does one manage SSID through SNMP? I enabled interface eth1 manage SNMP and was able to preform an snmpwalk on the AP's IP address, but no such setting exists in CloudIQ for eth0/eth1. Playing around with CloudIQ it seems the traffic filters cause ssid <SSID> manage SNMP to be configured. How does that work?
Thanks for any advice.
