Extreme Deployment Guides

This guide introduces ACSP (Extreme Channel Selection Protocol) and explains how it works.

This guide explains how to enable and use HHM (Hierarchical HiveManager). It includes instructions for adding organizations, viewing data and configuring objects in different organizations, adding and reassigning devices to organizations, generating reports, and more.

HiveManager Connect does not support the assignment of multiple user profiles to different users authenticated through RADIUS on a WPA2-Enterprise/802.1X SSID. However, even if you cannot assign multiple user profiles via RADIUS, you can assign multiple VLANs via RADIUS. This short guide explains how to do this when using HiveManager Connect and RADIUS.

This guide explains how to connect the networks at two sites across a wireless backhaul mesh link using AP245X access points with 60° sector antennas.

This document provides information on setting up the vSphere virtualization environment to deploy and run IQ Virtual Appliance. The configuration instructions in this guide are based on vSphere ESXi 6.0 and vCenter 6.0.

This guide explains service and device PPSKs, how they work, and how to configure them. Learn the various ways to create service PPSK users based on the role of the people creating them: ExtremeCloud IQ administrators, guest management administrators, Active Directory authenticated employees, and even wireless network users themselves (through self-registration).

This guide covers Extreme Networks security from hardware features built into Extreme Networks devices to ways that control, management, user data, and administrative traffic are protected. It summarizes the security precautions for ExtremeCloud IQ and ExtremeCloud IQ Online Classic and explains how Extreme Networks devices can protect the network from DoS attacks, network reconnaissance, and rogue APs.

This guide is a collection of best practices for deploying and configuring Extreme Networks APs. It includes topics such as channel widths, cell sizes and cell overlap, target data rates and basic data rates, load balancing, client capacity, and more. By considering the principles and recommendations presented here, you can take fuller advantage of the unique characteristics of wireless and the rich features Extreme Networks makes available in its products.

This guide explains how to provide the FQDN (fully qualified domain name) or IP address of ExtremeCloud IQ for Extreme Networks APs and Extreme and Dell EMC switches by configuring vendor-specific DHCP options on two common types of DHCP servers: a Linux ISC server and a Windows DHCP server. Informing Extreme Networks and Dell EMC devices about the FQDN or IP address of ExtremeCloud IQ is necessary when using IQ Virtual Appliance on premises because its location will change from site to site.

This guide serves as a reference for the products, features, and components that can help you optimize the provisioning and configuration of devices for an Extreme Networks wireless LAN deployment in a large campus.

ExtremeCloud IQ is the next generation cloud-based network management solution from Extreme Networks. This guide explains how existing Extreme Networks customers can easily migrate from HM Classic to ExtremeCloud IQ.

This guide explains how to configure Extreme Networks access points to provide wireless network access to Eduroam users.

This guide introduces the Extreme Networks mesh solution and covers numerous best practices to keep in mind when planning your deployment. It includes sections on supported and unsupported topologies to assist you in designing and implementing a successful Extreme Networks mesh solution.

This document guides an Extreme Networks administrator through configuring an 802.1X SSID using an Extreme Networks device as a RADIUS server and AD (Active Directory) integration, using group policy objects to deploy computer certificates and a wireless network configuration, bind an AD group to an Extreme Networks user profile, and authorize only users belonging to bound AD groups to access the network

This document explains how to configure Extreme Networks and Windows components to provide wireless client and user authentication using 802.1X/EAP-TLS.

This document addresses a number of variables and provides a mathematical means to help you make your wireless design and deployment decisions.

This guide introduces PPSK (Private Pre-Shared Keys) and presents three scenarios where PPSK can be used effectively.
