Tags: #VLAN & Multi-Networks #WAN Setup
Model: ER7206 (TL-ER7206)  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.2.3

Redoing my setup and now have my devices on a mgmt lan separate from rest of servers and misc devices. Router doesn't want to connect to controller even with option 138 configured correctly. My Switch and 5 AP's all work properly (now that it's setup correctly), but the router refuses to conenct across subnets. if i move the controller container to the mgmt subnet, it connects perfectly. 

 

is there a bug in the router firnware?

discovery utility worked. controller inform url wasn't an option since the router had been managed again by controller, just from the subnet i didn't want it to live on, so standalone mode wasn't functional at this point and i didn't want to reset again if i didn't have to.

To make the router visible in the controller, enter the controller’s IP address in the router’s config at:

 

System Tools>Controller Settings>Controller Inform URL>Inform URL/IP Address:

 

I got my router adopted after that, but it wasn’t a success after all since the router’s IP address wasn’t properly ported into the controller. After I corrected it manually, the router got disconnected from the controller and I had to back out. You may have better luck. My switch is not TP-Link and the whole configuration isn’t quite the same as yours.

yeah i don't have that option. maybe a difference of software version vs. physical controller? from what you describe it sounds similar to the purpose of the option 138. for clarity. ER7206-> TL-SG2210P -> (5) EAP235-Wall APs. The Switch and AP's connected after i set option 138 value correctly. The ER7206 doesn't. everything is on latest firmware for the device. The container is on 5.7.4 for the omada software itself.

thanks i'll look into this. also realizing option 138 is for clients not necessarily the host. not sure how to access that management page you reference (and that i see in the user guide) when i'm not in standalone mode. will keep plugging away at it. have some alternative ideas for tomorrow.
