Hello,

I have blocked a device by mistake, and when I go to "Insight" -> "Blocked" and click on "Unblock" an error message appears: "Client does not exist." I have an Omada v3.2.4 controller.

 

Can you help me?

Hi  @Juasama 

 

Below EAPs are not compatible with Omada controller V4.x.x and above.

EAP220 v1.0

EAP225 v1.0

EAP225 v1.0/2.0

 

All others are compatible.

 

If this issue only happens on that client, I believe it's a compatibility issue or some other unknown issue. 

However, all of the EAP products above and the Omada V3 controller are end-of-life, I am afraid there will be limited support for this issue.

 

You may search for other solutions.

Hi  @Vincent-TP 

 

 

I finally managed to unlock clients that were showing the error 'client does not exist' in Omada 3.2.4 via the web interface:

 

1. Access the Omada database with the Robo 3T management tool.

 

2. Run this to see which Collection has the 'isBlock' field set to 'true' (PDA locked).

db.getCollectionNames().forEach(function(coll) {
print("Collection: " + coll);
printjson(db.getCollection(coll).findOne({ "isBlock": true }));
});

 

3. List blocked clients:

db.statlifeclient.find({ "isBlock": true })

 

4. Unblock client:

db.statlifeclient.updateOne(
{ "mac": "XX-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX" },
{ $set: { "isBlock": false } }
)

 

5. Confirm that it was unblocked (isBlock set to false)

db.statlifeclient.find({ "mac": "XX-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX" })

 

I'm sharing this in case it can be of help to anyone.

Hi  @Juasama 

 

Omada 3.2.4 is too old. What's the model number of the EAP products you're using? 

 

Please forget the network on the client side and see if that helps.

Hi  @Vincent-TP 

 

We have a controller version 3.2.4 with APs model:

EAP220 v1.0

EAP225 v1.0

EAP225 v1.0/2.0

EAP225 v3.0
EAP245 v3.0

 

and another controller version 5.4.6 with APs model:

EAP225 v4.0
EAP225 v5.0
EAP245 v4.0
EAP245 v5.0

 

I have tried forgetting the network but it doesn't work.

 

The problem exists in the controller with version 3.2.4, in the other we can block and unlock devices without problem, but I don't know if the APs we have in the 3.2.4 are compatible with controller version 4.5.6...
