Model: OC200  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version:

I am a beginner and I have used my OC200 Omada Controller browser page to set up my network, in particular to create ACLs, VLANs, etc.
After that, I noticed that by physically removing my OC200 from the network everything continues to function exactly as I set it up. In fact the ACLs, VLANs, etc. continue to work as if the OC200 were still connected.
Then I am wondering what the point is of having the OC200 or the software controller running 24/7. I could just use it for the initial setup and every time I need to do a network modification or firmware update I can run the Omada controller but apart from that I don't need it.
Am I missing something? Maybe it is useful for advanced stuff that I don't need?
Thank you

Hi  @wiub 

 

Thanks for posting here.

 

The feature you configured happens not to require the controller to stay running to function, but some other features do need the controller to remain active to work, such as portal authentication. For details, you can refer to the FAQ below:

Should I keep the Omada Controller running after configuration?
