I currently have a mixed network as I migrate over to Omada, but due to core routing requirements I will need to save up before I can afford a router. This is causing a bit of heartache with management...

My current network uses VLAN 10 for management. All of my hardware can tag VLAN 10 as the management network and it works great. I am trying to swap out a switch and for the life of me can't get the management network to function properly and omada hardware be managed by the controller...

Layout: ONT > Non Omada Router > Non Omada core switch > Omada switch > Non omada access point.

I followed the directions for a non omada router and setting up the management network. What I have done:

Set a DHCP reservation for the OC200 on the management network (VLAN10). Connected the OC200 to the non omada core switch listed above. That switch port is set to VLAN10 being untagged. The OC200 is getting an IP on the management vlan as I would expect (VLAN10). I then connect the omada switch to my non omada core switch. That port is a trunk that has all VLANs untagged (20,30,40 etc) except management (vlan10) which is set as the native network and vlan 10 is also set up as the management network via config > vlan interface. Everything here seems to provision just fine, and I can manage the switch.

Problem in this scenario: Anything at all that sits after that omada switch (the non omada access point for example) that uses the management vlan and tags that traffic, is unable to be accessed. Everything works great except their management interfaces. If I change the omada switch to have the default vlan untagged as the pvid (vlan1) and set vlan10 as a tagged vlan, then I am suddenly not able to manage the omada switch from the OC200, but I can then access the management interfaces of everything that I couldn't before.

Any assistance would be GREATLY appreciated here. On the old netgear managed switch I had where the omada one now is, I was able to set a PVID of 10 for the uplink port, and also set the uplink port to have tagged vlan10 traffic on it and that seemed to work great, but is not supported with Omada it seems.

Thank you!
