Omada VLAN and DHCP Configuration Guide

The document provides instructions for enabling external DHCP on an Omada network with multiple VLANs, switches, and DHCP servers. It describes setting up VLANs and profiles in the Omada controller, configuring the switches with uplinks and management IPs, enabling VLAN interfaces on the switches to allow DHCP relaying, and configuring the VLAN interfaces on each switch with static IPs, DHCP relay to the servers, and DNS settings. This allows devices connected to each switch to obtain IP addresses from the centralized DHCP servers.

Enable External DHCP on Omada

Friday, February 11, 2022 10:49 AM

Assumptions
1. Multiple VLANs
2. Multiple Omada Switches
3. Omada Router
4. Omada AP (not talked about in this)
5. Omada Controller, Software or Hardware based
6. Omada 5.0.30
7. All Omada hardware will have its management IP on VLAN 1
8. DHCP and DNS set up on server. In this case, Windows 2016 Domain Controllers
a. [Link]
b. [Link]

VLANs
1 Management [Link]
10 Office [Link]
20 Media [Link]
100 Servers [Link]

1. Set up VLANs in Omada

Name Media
Purpose Interface
LAN Interfaces Select All of them
VLAN 10
Domain Name [Link]
Gateway/Subnet [Link]/24
IGMP Snooping Unchecked
DHCP Server Unchecked
Legal DHCP Servers [Link], [Link]
Configure IPV6 None

TP-Link Page 1
2. Do the same for the other VLANs.
3. For VLAN 1, Configure DHCP

Name Adm_Vlan (Management)


Purpose Interface
LAN Interfaces Select All of them
VLAN 10
Domain Name [Link]
Gateway/Subnet [Link]/24
IGMP Snooping Unchecked
DHCP Server Checked
DHCP Range [Link] - [Link]
DNS Server Manual - [Link]/[Link]
Lease time 720
Default Gateway Manual - [Link]
DHCP Omada Controller Blank
Legal DHCP Servers Unchecked
Configure IPV6 None

4. Profiles are created automatically when VLANs are created

5. Switch Config
a. Each switch should have an uplink to the router. Choose the same port on each switch.
b. Each switch will have a management IP on VLAN 1
c. Use the "ALL" profile for the Uplink port.
d. Assign the Other VLAN profiles to the rest of the ports as needed to support attached
devices

6. Config-->VLAN Interface
a. Turn on all interfaces

This function is what allows DHCP to flow from your DHCP servers down to the ports on your
switches.

7. Edit each VLAN Interface

7. Edit each VLAN Interface

ADM_LAN - Management Network


Management VLAN Checked
IP Address Mode Static
IP Address [Link]
Subnet Mask [Link]
Default GW [Link]
Primary DNS [Link]
Secondary DNS [Link]
DHCP Relay Checked
Server Address [Link]

TP-Link Page 5
Remaining VLANS
Management VLAN Unchecked
IP Address Mode Static
IP Address [Link]
Subnet Mask [Link]
DHCP Relay Checked
Server Address [Link]

Note the IP Address. This will be the IP for the appropriate VLAN.
Note the last octet. This will be the same for each Interface on each switch
Each VLAN ends up with an IP on the switch for that VLAN.

Here is a sample for 3 switches:
Switch VLAN VLAN Interface IP
Office 1 [Link] - admin IP
Office 10 [Link]
Office 20 [Link]
Office 100 [Link]
Media 1 [Link] - admin IP
Media 10 [Link]
Media 20 [Link]
Media 100 [Link]
Servers 1 [Link] - admin IP
Servers 10 [Link]
Servers 20 [Link]
Servers 100 [Link]
