Omada: missing 802.1X Guest VLAN
When configuring switches manually, I notice the presence of the "dot1x guest-vlan" option. However, when provisioning switches via the Omada Controller, this option appears to be absent. This inconsistency is frustrating. Could this feature please be added to the controller? Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Following up on the previous message, I'd like to inform you about new beta functionality available. This feature enables the application of configuration snippets to the switch configuration. You can access it under CLI Configuration > Device CLI.
Here's an example of how to add the "dot1x guest-vlan" configuration to the switch, working per port. While it's not ideal, it represents progress compared to having no option available.

Hi @Bouke
Do you mean you want to have the 802.1X authentication for the switch via the controller? The 802.1X feature can be configured via the controller. To configure the 802.1X authentication globally, you can enter the site view and go to Settings > Authentication > 802.1X.
You may go to the user guide of the controller to find the detail steps.

@Hank21 No. The "dot1x guest-vlan" feature appears to be absent in the Omada controller. While I can configure the guest-vlan feature directly on the switch when it's not under Omada controller management, enabling guest-vlan functionality for managed switches via the Omada controller isn't possible currently. The only available method is through the beta feature: CLI Configuration > Device CLI. My request is to incorporate the guest-vlan functionality for dot1x into the Omada controller interface.
