Model: ER7206 (TL-ER7206)  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 2.2.3

I’m currently migrating a site from standalone to a full Omada SDN stack and I’ve hit a bit of a wall with the NAT configuration on an ER7206 v2.0 (Firmware 2.2.3) managed by an  OC200 Controller: v1.0 (Firmware 5.14.2)

The site has a Zen Internet FTTP connection using PPPoE on WAN2. I have a stable IKEv2 IPsec tunnel up and running to a third-party Palo Alto gateway. The tunnel is established using a "Custom IP" local subnet of 172.23.24.0/24 as a transit range, which matches the remote encryption domain perfectly.

The issue is that I need to map my local production VLAN (172.16.0.0/24) to that 172.23.24.0/24 transit range before it enters the tunnel. When I go to Settings > Transmission > NAT > One-to-One NAT to create the rule, the "Interface" dropdown is completely empty. It doesn't show the active WAN2 port, nor does it show the IPsec tunnel as a selectable interface.

I’ve checked for "Multi-Net NAT" as a workaround, but that menu seems to be missing entirely from this firmware version.

This was working fine in standalone mode before the adoption, but the SDN controller seems to be filtering out the PPPoE WAN interface from the NAT menus. Has anyone else seen this where the interface dropdown is blank? Is there a specific toggle I’m missing to expose the WAN or the VPN tunnel to the NAT engine so I can get this mapping in place?

Any help would be appreciated as I'm remote now and need to get this routing finalised.

One-to-One NAT is only possible on WAN interfaces with a static IP, since your ISP is PPPoE i assume its DHCP on the WAN ?

  @GRL  That makes a lot of sense. I hadn't realised the SDN controller would filter the One-to-One NAT menu based on the WAN type, but as this is a PPPoE connection, that explains why the interface dropdown is empty.

I might be misremembering how I had it set up in standalone mode as I was testing a few different configurations behind another router at the time.

Since the equipment isn't on-site yet, I think the best move is to just configure the 172.23.24.0/24 range natively on the local VLAN. It removes the need for NAT entirely and should be a much cleaner setup for the VPN tunnel anyway.

Thanks for clarifying the menu issue, it's saved me a lot of head-scratching!
