Chapter 6: SmartPath EMS VMA Online (Cloud-Based Service)

6. SmartPath EMS VMA Online (Cloud-Based Service)

In addition to a SmartPath EMS VMA, the SmartPath EMS VMA network management system is available in one other form.

SmartPath EMS Online is a cloud-based service running on hardware hosted and maintained by Black Box (see Figure 6-1). This

management system provides cost-effective alternatives for managing WLAN networks that might not require the investment of a

physical appliance.

Black Box hosts SmartPath EMS Online at smartpath.blackbox.com, maintaining the SmartPath EMS VMA hardware and updating

the SmartPath EMS VMA software as new releases become available. You receive access to a VEMS (virtual SmartPath EMS VMA)

running on the SmartPath EMS VMA hardware. Each VEMS is an independent management system with its own administrators

managing their own set of SmartPath APs. Without the expense of buying a physical appliance or SmartPath EMS VMA Virtual

Appliance, SmartPath EMS Online can be the most cost-efficient choice for managing a small number of SmartPath APs.

After purchasing SmartPath EMS Online, you receive your login URL and credentials in an e-mail message. After logging in, you

enter the SmartPath landing space. From there, you can access your VEMS.

Through your VEMS, you can manage SmartPath APs deployed remotely. By default, SmartPath APs first try to connect

to a local SmartPath EMS VMA. If the MAC address or serial number of the SmartPath AP is already assigned to a VEMS,

SmartPath.blackbox.com redirects the SmartPath AP to it (see Figure 6-2).

NOTE: Once ordered for use with the VEMS, the SmartPath APs will be preconfigured to try and reach the online VEMS

(SmartPath.blackbox.com).

NOTE: If you factory-reset an AP that has been provisioned to look for the online manager at SmartPath.Blackbox.com, it will

default to looking for a local EMS. You have to create an SSH connection to the AP and send two config lines using the

VEMS CLI (see below).

Enter:

Capwap client server primary name: Smartpath.blackbox.com and press the <Enter> key.

Save config run boot and press the <Enter> key

Once this is done, when the AP is connected to an Internet connection, the AP will look to the VEMS at SmartPath.blackbox.com

and show there.
