1.1 Determine the Network Topology There are two methods to centrally manage EAPs via Omada Controller: ■■ Management on the Local Network ■■ Management via Cloud Access Determine your management method according to your need and refer to the following introductions to build your network topology. Tips Omada app offers a convenient way to access the Omada Controller and adopt EAPs. With Local Access and Cloud Access function on the Omada app, you can manage the controller at local and remote sites. For more detailed information about Omada app, refer to Appendix: Omada App. 1.1.1 Management on the local Network There are two kinds of network topologies to centrally manage EAPs on the local network: ■■ Omada Controller and EAPs are in the same subnet. ■■ Omada Controller and EAPs are in different subnets. Determine your management method according to your need and refer to the following introductions to build your network topology. Management in the Same Subnet If your Omada Controller and EAPs are in the same subnet, refer to the following network topology. A router acts as a DHCP server to assign IP addresses to EAPs and clients. Omada Controller should be installed on one host, which is called as Controller Host. The other hosts in the same LAN can access the Controller Host to manage the network. Taking the following topology as an example, you can enter "https://192.168.0.100:8043" in a web browser on Host B to visit the Omada Controller interface on Host A. It's recommended to set a static IP address to the Controller Host for the convenient login to the Omada Controller interface. 2

1.1.1

Management on the local Network

There are two kinds of network topologies to centrally manage EAPs on the local network:

■

Omada Controller and EAPs are in the same subnet.

■

Omada Controller and EAPs are in different subnets.

Determine your management method according to your need and refer to the following

introductions to build your network topology.

Management in the Same Subnet

If your Omada Controller and EAPs are in the same subnet, refer to the following network topology.

A router acts as a DHCP server to assign IP addresses to EAPs and clients. Omada Controller

should be installed on one host, which is called as Controller Host. The other hosts in the same

LAN can access the Controller Host to manage the network. Taking the following topology as an

example, you can enter “https://192.168.0.100:8043“ in a web browser on Host B to visit the Omada

Controller interface on Host A. It's recommended to set a static IP address to the Controller Host

for the convenient login to the Omada Controller interface.
