Omada AP controller through Pfsense, firewall rules

Model: EAP265 HD

Hardware Version:

Firmware Version: 5.0.3 Build 20210618 Rel. 46584

Hello Everyone,

I have my main computer on the LAN sub-net and a Omada EAP265-HD on OPT1, I want to use the controller to connect to the AP through the firewall. I have configured some ports according to the AP ports.

I can't configure the AP with the controller even if everything is working, how do get the controller to work on a windows computer throuight the firewall?

Thanks

Dear @Ace_Crazy

1. Omada controller use ports 29810-29814 UDP/TCP, but you may also need to allow EAP to use these ports. EAP will broadcast the package and the controller is the receiver.

2. Please make sure there is routing between the EAP subnet and the controller subnet. You can allow ICMP packages and have a Ping test from controller PC to the EAP;

3. Run EAP discovery utility to let EAP know the controller IP. About how to use the Utility, here is an example:

@Ace_Crazy

I have EAP660HD and I use only its web interface to manage it. I wasn't able to access that interface from other subnets than the one the AP was in until I enabled the 'Layer-3 Accessibility' option in the AP configuration.
