Option 2: Controller Mode
Controller Mode applies to the large scale network with mass devices. All
devices can be centrally configured and monitored via Omada Software
Controller, Omada Hardware Controller or Omada Cloud-Based Controller.
Note: Before the following configurations, make sure the switch can access the internet.
When using Omada Software/Hardware Controller, make sure the switch and the controller
are in the same subnet. Typically, the switch obtains IP address from the DHCP server, and
you can check the switch's IP address on the DHCP server.
