Model: EAP245  
Hardware Version: V3
Firmware Version: 5.3.3 Build 20250627 Rel. 63801(4555)

I have many EAP245 that I use without OMADA controller. For my application the omada controller is a non starter. 

Till the latest release I basically changed the last two octet of the mac address in DHCP, and that stopped the AP from looking for an OMADA controller.

When I needed to manage it, I just put the correct MAC back in and in a few minutes I was able to login and manage.

 

This is now broken with the latest release. With the same method it will basically keep looking for a DHCP server and also storming for an omada controller.

 

How do I stop this behaviour? I just want to use my APs without a controller and not have my time sensitive network be bogged down with constant broadcasts for looking for an omada controller...

Hi  @Ortofan 

 

Thanks for posting here.

This DNS request is normal behavior for SDN devices, which actively probe for available Omada controllers within the local network when a controller has not been deployed. Its design purpose is to automatically discover available Omada Controllers for centralized network management. This will not cause any broadcast storms.

  • This request is only periodic probing within the local area network and is not transmitted to the wide area network.
  • A single DNS request involves minimal data volume and does not consume network bandwidth or affect device performance.
  • Its design purpose is to automatically discover available Omada Controllers for centralized network management. It is not intended to promote products or be embedded with harmful intent.

 

Is there any network issue on your EAP245? If not, you may ignore it.

Wish you a happy life and smooth network usage!  >Omada US Enterprise Beta Program Launch< >Get the Latest Omada SDN Controller Releases Here< >Experience the Latest Omada EAP Firmware<
