Aerohive's Cloud-Managed Switch Stacking (Graphic: Business Wire)

Watch this video to peek behind the curtain as Aerohive’s engineering team demonstrates some of the exciting new features of switch stacking.

Available late August, highlights of the new switch stacking capabilities include:

• Effortless deployment and provisioningup to 1+ Million managed devices with streamlined configuration and the ability to create, clone, and customize switch stack templates in a couple of clicks.

• With the intuitive HiveManager® NG UI, organizations can easily define and manage switch stack settings, customize exceptions, and apply bulk device configurations to switch stacks with ease and efficiency.

• Opting to leave the rigid, delay-prone SNMP management approach behind, Aerohive’s Cloud Management for Switching instead utilizes a cloud-based HiveAgent™ communicator and embedded HiveAgent software that, when integrated by a manufacturer in its Broadcom FASTPATH-based switches, can enable near-real-time configuration, in-depth visibility, faster reporting, SSH-troubleshooting access, and highly secure management traffic communication via the Aerohive Cloud.

“We took a modern approach to switch stack implementations by embedding platforms with a purpose-built, agent-based application called ‘HiveAgent’ for streamlined configuration and reporting of both Aerohive and Broadcom FASTPATH-based switches,” said Doug Case, engineering team lead for cloud-managed switch stacking, Aerohive Networks.

“The HiveAgent communicates over a secure SSL connection with HiveManager NG and offers near-real-time configuration and extensive visibility and reporting. With the cloud-based HiveAgent communicator and HiveAgent, it becomes straightforward to extend Cloud-based Switch Management, including switch stacking, to any manufacturer using Broadcom FASTPATH-based switches.”
