EAP 225 - Backdored by the update ?
Hi,
Before I start I want to clarify that I'm not a big fan of the cloud and that I'm new to the whole Omada ecosystem and not quite sure how the Cloud components work within its ecosystem. Therefore, I might have some misconceptions for which I would be happy for someone to provide more information and explain how things work.
I have bought EAP 225 Access Point to use in the Standalone Mode and disabled all the cloud features in System -> Controller Settings. I have also updated it from a very old firmware to the latest one that is 5.0.9 and noticed some concerning change, not sure if that's how it should be or it's a sign of something more serious.
When you navigate to System -> Controller Settings, at the end of the page there is a section called Inform URL\IP Address. That section, before I updated the firmware had 0.0.0.0 filled in but after the update it have changed to the following: 0.0.0.0?dPort=PortNumber&mPort=PortNumber&omadaCId= string of numbers and letters
I tried changing the above command and string of switches back to just 0.0.0.0 and saving it but it doesn't do anything. I'm not sure that command should be there especially after I have disabled the Cloud features.
I'm worried about the omadaCId switch as the random string of numbers and letters indicate some sort of ID that could point to a specific container\account instance in the cloud that Access Point could try to connect to, at least to my understanding. I tried to search online what omadaCId switch is or what it does but came up empty handed, my guess would be that it stands for Omada Cloud ID or Omada Client ID.
Can someone please lend a helping hand ?
Any help is much appreciated.
