AeroHive – access to MyHive landing page

February 22nd, 2012 | No Comments

The AeroHive user, which is created by default, gets a landing page, when logging into https://myhive.aerohive.com. The user can choose between the HiveManager Online and the Redirector.

When the users chooses the HiveManager Online or the Redirector, the user has the option to return to landing page by choosing the MyHive option in the upper right corner.

Subsequent users don’t get the landing page by default and don’t have the option to choose the MyHive option. Subsequent users (even if the belong to the group Configuration and Monitoring) don’t have the permissions to access the Redirector.

The default user has the option to provide access to the landing page. This configuration is done per user and can only be done by the default user. Just edit the user and enable the option “Give user access to MyHive landing page”.

When the users logs in to his HiveManager page, he will get the landing page to choose between the HiveManager Online and the Redirector.

Cisco WLC – Upgrade FUS image

February 16th, 2012 | No Comments

Today I upgraded a FUS image on a Cisco WLC 5500 controller, because I also upgrade the WLC software to 7.2.103.0. The FUS upgrade is straightforward and comparable to a regular software update. The only difference is that you need console access to perform the upgrade. The FUS image upgrades the following components:

  • Field Recovery Image is upgraded to runtime image version
  • Bootloader is upgraded to 1.0.16
  • Offline Field Diagnostics is upgraded to 0.9.28
  • FPGA Revision version is upgraded to 1.7
  • Environment Controller (MCU) Image version is upgraded to 1.8
  • USB Console Revision version is upgraded to 2.2

During the upgrade process you have to confirm to proceed the upgrade, like shown below
