Add Local DNS and supply documentation for Local DNS on ER707-m2
Add Local DNS and supply documentation for Local DNS on ER707-m2
Please add local DNS support to ER707-M2 for all HW versions and provide Documentation on how to configure it via Omada Controller
User-Story:
I have around 200 Network-Devices in my Home-Lab local Lan and i want to use the Omada DHCP Service.
It would be great to get all Leases fixed or temporary to show up in a local DNS or in the DNS-Cache.
Why?
Why do that at all? Because others in the same price segment offer the functionality. Customers are fickle bunch.
Why for all HW-Versions?
If you order online, you never now what version you will get.
Proposed Solution:
Make DHCP-Lease-Table available to the already implemented DNS-Cache.
Replication to the table to the Cache-Table only needs to be done if a new lease is requested or every hour
If you want to be fancy, do as others do and add the option to the DHCP whether or not ot put the Adress into the "export"-Table
Second possible solution:
Add DNS as distinct Service to the Router, or maybe to the Controller.
Third possible solution:
Add a dedicated appliance to your lineup.

the sales guys understand. i am sure the developers will understand and the solution would be really so easy... just copy the dhcp-leases into the dnscache
the problem ist, that the non-ki-support engineers dont understand.... they dont use their product themselfes and thus dont see the need and thus try just to handle the problem-customers... instead of customers problems.
i would really appreciate if all would try to contact their local sales rep and talk to them.
there has been an update by the way... but its only the manual dns-solution - sort of.
because they made available an update, with the feature in the notes, but i cannot find the option in the config

@Clive_A Can you share what the status on this is? Is this basic feature *still* missing? Do I need to setup a pihole or coredns somewhere in my network and let it handle DNS? How crazy is this for a SDN solution?
OK, nevermind. After going through a lot of firmware updates on the controller, I'm now on:
* ER707-M2 v1.0: 1.3.1
* OC200 v1.0: 1.37.11 with the 6.0.0.36 UI Version.
I can now find the LAN DNS option described here and that finally works for me creating a local DNS resolve: https://www.tp-link.com/de/support/faq/4504/#Requirements
