Description:

As a network administrator managing complex multi-vendor environments, I am currently migrating from legacy firewall solutions (Sophos/Cisco) to an Omada-based infrastructure featuring the ER8411 and the OC200/Software Controller.

While the ER8411 hardware natively supports OSPF in standalone mode, this functionality is currently not available within the Omada SDN Controller's graphical user interface.

Use Case:

In modern enterprise networks, dynamic routing is essential for:

• Parallel Operation: Maintaining connectivity between new Omada-managed networks and legacy infrastructure (Sophos/OPNsense) during migration.

• Redundancy: Automatically advertising routes to internal transit networks (RTN) and handling gateway failovers dynamically.

• Scalability: Avoiding the overhead of maintaining dozens of static routes across multiple routers and firewalls.

Requested Functionality:

Please integrate an OSPF configuration menu under Settings -> Wired Networks -> Routing for Omada Gateways with the following options:

• Global Settings: Enable/Disable OSPF, Router ID, Reference Cost, and Default Route Advertisement.

• Area Management: Ability to define OSPF Areas (Dotted Decimal and Integer format).

• Interface Settings: Assign OSPF to specific VLAN interfaces with support for Authentication (MD5/Plain), Cost, and Network Type (Broadcast/P2P).

• Passive Interfaces: Toggle to prevent OSPF Hello packets on client-facing VLANs while still advertising the prefix.

Closing Note: The ER8411 is a powerful enterprise-grade gateway. Adding native OSPF support to the Omada SDN Controller would significantly enhance its viability for professional and high-availability network deployments.
