Omada switches spamming DNS requests
Omada switches spamming DNS requests
Hello,
This applies to all my Omada switches. Every 15 seconds, each switch sends out a DNS request to omada. It fills up my logs with unnecessary requests. I run my switches as standalone and I assume this has something to do with a controller. Am I missing a setting on how to stop this? Thanks

The command that worked for me (SG2210P switch) was (over SSH):
Switch> enable
Switch# configure
Switch(config)# no controller discover
Switch(config)# end
Switch# copy running-config startup-config
... update:
scratch that, even with this (and a reboot) the switch still spams with DNS requests...

This is still a problem. I updated firmware on 1 of my switches and now it is constantly spamming DNS queries for the domain `omada`.
The no controller discover command did not work for me and I do not have cloud controller enabled.
How do I make this stop ?

@ishanjain28 You don't. TP-Link apparently refuses to fix it.

It's actually implemented for some devices in the next release; if your devices have pre-release firmware available, look for the "Remote Adoption" feature.

Unchecking that box will stop the DNS requests. As for when it is slated for official release, unfortunately, I have no news on that.
