Manage Omada Managed Devices and Sites

If the ping result shows the packets are received, it implies that the controller can communicate

with the devices. Otherwise, the controller cannot communicate with the devices, then you need to

check your network.

Prepare for Communication

Prepare for Device Discovery

Adopt the Devices

Note:

If the controller and devices are in the same LAN, subnet and VLAN, skip this step. In this scenario, the controller can discover the

devices directly, and no additional settings are required.

Make sure that the controller can discover the devices.

When the controller and devices are in different LANs, subnets or VLANs, the controller cannot discover

the devices directly. You need to choose

Controller Inform URL

Discovery Utility

, or

DHCP Option 138

as the method to help the controller discover the devices.

■

Controller Inform URL

Controller Inform URL informs the devices of the controller’s URL or IP address. Then the devices

make contact with the controller so that the controller can discover the devices.

You can configure Controller Inform URL for devices in Standalone Mode. Let’s take a switch for

example. Log into the management page of the switch in Standalone Mode and go to

SYSTEM
