What is the function we can configure when the switch is managed by Omada SDN Controller?

TP-Link New Safestream Router, Jetstream Switch, and Omada AP can be managed by Omada SDN Controller. For the Old Jetstream Switch, we have released the new firmware to fit for Omada SDN Controller. If you are using the old Jetstream Switch, you can download the new firmware from the TP-Link Office Website.

To work with Omada SDN Controller. Now Jetstream switch supports two different modes, one is the standalone mode, another is the controller mode. In the standalone mode, you can configure the full function of the switch. But in the controller mode, some advanced functions are limited.

We summarized these functions that can be configured in controller mode. You can find detailed information as below:

To help know clearly of the functions, we classify the functions as 5 types: System, Statistics, LAN Network, Network Security, and Services.

Module		Features	SDN Controller Mode	Standalone Mode
System	System Tool	System IP(Static/DHCP)	√	√
		Management VLAN	√	√
		LED on/off	√	√
		system Sunmmary	√	√
		Device Description	√	√
		System Time	√	√
		System Reboot	√	√
		System Reset	√	√
		Reboot Schedule	√	√
	Access	SSH	Switch supports SSH access in controller mode, but it only supports using the showing commends.	√

		POE Power Budget	It supports checking but cannot change the value in SDN controller mode	√
		POE Port Config	In SDN controller mode, it names as "POE sechdule" feature. It supports setting time to enbale the POE function for the switch's port	√
	Time	Time Zone	SDN controller mode supports setting Time Zone for each site, which means different site can work in different Time Zone.	×
	Time	Time Range Config	√	√

	LAG	LACP(802.3ad)	Up to 8 Groups, up to 8 Ports per group	Up to 8 Groups, up to 8 Ports per group
	Traffic Monitor		√	√
	MAC address		Switch only supports learning the MAC address dynamicly in controller mode we cannot do any settings for the MAC address	In standalone mode, switch can dynamicly learn the MAC address. And it supports manually creating static Unicast address, Binding Dynamic address, creating filtering address and doing MAC notification settings.
