I have the Ubuntu box running several things in my house so this is normaly pretty convient.

In this case it has many advantages to use Omada SW Controller on your existing Linux server:

• It saves you energy compared to running an additional OC200/OC300.
• A server-based Linux is magnitudes faster than the embedded Linux running on a hardware controller's SoC.
• Required SW packages such as JRE, mogodb, curl can be updated independently from the controller software (security fixes!).
• Auto-backup works out of the box, no USB stick/PoE power supply needed.
• Nearly unlimited storage for client log entries introduced in v3.2.10 (OC200: can exhaust the internal flash memory over time).
• Direct access to the mongodb database using the mongo utility or libraries for PHP, C etc.
• Database backups can be managed using mongodump/mongorestore on the cmdline. Even allows scheduled backups using cron(8).
• Kernel scheduling priority for Omada Controller can be changed (even on the fly).
• You can install different versions of Omada Controller at the same time, this allows for easy upgrades/downgrades.

Take a look at the community versions of Omada SW Controller for Linux in this forum (pinned at top) and in the SDN forum.

As for Omada SW Controller V4.1.5: it runs fine, but still has some bugs, but OC200/OC300 have the same and even some more bugs (e.g. password reset function not working).

If you're an early adopter and have fun hunting bugs, you can switch over to V4.1.5 now. All basic functions needed for EAP management work fine, though. But if you prefer a stable version I recommend to stay with V3.2.10 until next SDN version will be released which probably will be v4.2.x.
