Network with multiple remote WANS
I am looking at migrating a hotel network to Omada. This 30-room hotel has two buildings with the rooms plus a reception building. The current network has GPON fibre links going to each building. The room buildings have two GPON WANs, one for internet and one for IPTV. Network connections between the buildings for things like the SIP phones are done with port forwarding over the internet which I don't like.
I would like to upgrade this with modern Omada SDN equipment and have one LAN network linking all buildings, but this fibre was installed recently by the provider and I would prefer not to have to convince the owner to have these connections moved to the main server room.
Question 1: can Omada support multiple WANs in different locations? My first choice would be if they could be used in a load-balancing configuration serving demand across the property but it this is not possible it would also be acceptable if each building’s internet traffic was tied to that building’s WAN connection.
Question 2: is there a way to tunnel certain traffic such as the IPTV service to a particular WAN? I see from another post that WAN <-> VLAN tagging is not supported by Omada but I want to check if this is still the case in 2022 or if there is another solution. This is less important and I could maintain a separate network for IPTV if necessary.
Question 3: has anyone used the SFP+ GPON modules (of any brand) with Omada routers or switches? I would like to get rid of the provider’s router boxes as they are very slow and crash frequently.
