Aerohive AP230 wireless client bridge

AP230 Wireless Client Bridge Setup

This is a quick guide to setting up your AP230 as a wireless client bridge, allowing any devices plugged in via eth0 to communicate with the network of the connected SSID. Note that this config uses NAT, and I cannot figure out how to set a static IP for the "WAN" interface, so DHCP it is.

Setup steps

  1. Connect a console cable to to the "console" port (or do step two, SSH into the address which appears on your network)
  2. After providing power to the AP (either with PoE or 12v/1a connector), hold the reset button for 30s (or login and execute reset config bootstrap, reset config)
  3. Default login: admin:aerohive
  4. Basic Administravia:
No capwap client enable
Ntp enable
Ntp server us.pool.ntp.org
Console timeout 0
Clock time-zone -7
admin root-admin <desired admin username> password <long password>
Console page 50
