Insufficient detail OMADA Cloud Controller log
Planing on rolling out my current (beta) setup to several sites (hardware switch from ubi, hp, netgear and two really old Nortel switches ;-) )
Setup, 1site, cloudcontrolled.
1Gb Fibre connection - Nokia Media Converter - TL-ER605 - TL-SG2008P, OC200 hooked up to PoE port of switch, but I guess it could be anywhere in the net.
Mesh provided by EAP-615WALL AP's, a few unmanaged TP-Link TL-SG105 Switches are present, but these are unmanaged and as such invisible. Removed all furter repeaters, ap's, routers and hub's (only HomeAutomation Hubs/servers currently running)
I'm noticing that the error/warning reporting in the OC200 is "very" limited. (does not add any value sofar)
For instance it says that several large ping's were detected and dropped, but not what source (IP/WAN/LAN/Port), so no way of knowing the ping's origin and intention (attack or justlarge frames?) These warnings don't follow a real patern, some come within 5-10 minutes, others have hour intervals. But (!!) they occur the whole day long....it's like someone ringing a bel the whole day at random interval's, it's maddening.
I have WireShark running in promiscuous mode, but so far I fouind nothing regarding ICMP traffic, nothing on ICMP and on ICMPv6 only 90 length (Multic List Rep)
So the reporting is lacking and not as Enterprised Grade as I would expect (we are talking Enterprise grade here, hardware wise, right?) to have right away ( it is available in the actual process) certainly not something I would have to dismantle my network for (disassociate device from cloud, mirror ports....than try to get it back into the network. However....as I have reported earlier, for a ER605 to be adopted in the network a very specific set of steps needs to be taken, one of which is a full reset), use 3rd party software (i.e. WireShark) only to the maybe be able to find future errors and have more data available. Keeping in mind that you end up with a router that may end up being unusable in the controller setting if you insist on having insight in what really is going on in your network/site.
For enterprise grade hard- and software unacceptable, I might even consider it a bug/ommission/faillure. It would be such a hassle to actually remove al hardware (again!) and go back to i.e. ubiquity (where we have more options, eventhough also not in GUI), so I'm glad it's just anoying to have reporting that really doesn't inform you what happend.
Imagine your doctor tells your your sick, but can't tell you what, where, how, anything, unless he begins with removing your individual parts and fixing the diagnosis gap.....madness
tp-link need to fix this in my opinion
