  @Clive_A Thank you for this post. I appreciate the single letter naming scheme however I'm finding the Omada naming incredibly hard to understand now.

 

I've found "Omada" has been slapped on a whole heap of switches that don't appear to be manageable by Omada. Are they really "Omada" switches?

 

For example: https://www.tp-link.com/au/business-networking/omada-switch-smart/sg2210p/

There is no mention of being Omada manageable but yet, it's in the Omada line up. This does not make sense and creates so much unnecessary confusion.

That's also not to mention the unmanaged switches in the Omada line up as well. Are they compatible with Omada or are they part of the Business Line up?

https://www.tp-link.com/au/business-networking/omada-switch-unmanaged/

I hope someone in the marketing and web teams can make this clearer on the website. They need to be clearly seperated if they cannot be managed by Omada. This is not the first time I've been caught out either. I've bought a managed TP-Link switch thinking I could adopt it just to find it is not compatible.

It is an Omada product.

For a compatible list, you should take a look at the Omada switch list. Some very old versions are not compatible with the Omada controller. For example, V1.

As said, the Omada switch is separate from the L2 switch which is an unmanaged switch. They are marked as Omada but they are not controllable.

 

Switch is layer 2. I am only discussion the Omada product line here. My goal is to discuss Omada as much as possible. I don't intend to include all the models we have. Your provided AU website is not correct about some models. I think that requires a revision from our web team.

You should send an email to the local support team regarding that website thing.

I also revised some of the descriptions for better clarity.
