·
Omada Controller must be running all the time when you manage the network.
·
Omada Controller can be running on only one host in a LAN. When other users in the LAN try to launch
Omada Controller on their own hosts, they will be redirected to the host that is already running Omada
Controller.
Management in Different Subnets
If your Omada Controller and EAPs are in different subnets, refer to the following topology.
A router acts as the gateway of the network. A layer 3 switch acts as a DHCP server to assign IP
addresses to EAPs and clients. The Controller Host and the EAPs are connected to the switch's
different network segments. To help EAPs find the Controller Host, Omada Discover Utility should
be installed on Host B which is in the same subnet with the EAPs. For how to use Omada Discovery
Utility, refer to
Inform the EAPs of the Controller Host’s Address
