After HiveAP-3 boots up, it discovers the two other members of hive1 over a wireless backhaul link. The
members authenticate themselves and establish a security association for encrypting backhaul communications
among themselves. HiveAP-3 then learns its default route to the wired network from the other hive members. If
the other members send routes with equal costs—which is what happens in this example—HiveAP-3 uses the first
route it receives. When it learns this route, it can communicate with the DHCP server to get an IP address for its
mgt0 interface.
6. Check that HiveAP-3 has associated with the other members at the wireless level.

Log in to HiveAP-3 and enter this command to see its neighbors in hive1:
HiveAP-3
In the output of the show hive hive1 neighbor
command, you can see hive-level and member-level
information. (On HiveAPs supporting 802.11n, the
channel width for hive communications—20 or 40
MHz—is also shown.)
When you see the MAC addresses of the other hive
members, you know that HiveAP-3 learned them over
a wireless backhaul link.
Neighbors
The following are the various hive states that can appear:
Disv (Discover) - Another HiveAP has been discovered, but there is a
mismatch with its hive ID.
Neibor (Neighbor) - Another HiveAP has been discovered whose hive
ID matches, but it has not yet been authenticated.
CandPr (Candidate Peer) - The hive ID on a discovered HiveAP
matches, and it can accept more neighbors.
AssocPd (Association Pending) - A HiveAP is on the same backhaul
channel, and an assocation process in progress.
Assocd (Associated) - A HiveAP has associated with the local HiveAP
and can now start the authentication process.
Auth (Authenticated) - The HiveAP has been authenticated and can
now exchange data traffic.
