SDN Platform Compatibility List

1. Added support for Access Points: EAP100-Bridge 1.0, EAP215-Bridge 3.0, EAP211-Bridge 3.0

New Features

1. Optimized MAC Group in Site View > Settings > Basic Profile > Groups > MAC Group, with
   support for up to 2000 MAC addresses per group. Firmware update required to enable this
   feature.
2. *Optimized Ping-Pong Roaming in Site View > Settings > Fast Roaming > Ping-Pong
   Roaming. Prevents clients from frequently roaming between two APs to improve user
   experience.
3. *Added support for assigning multiple VLANs to a single SSID in Site View > Settings >
   WLAN > SSID > Advanced Settings > VLAN > Add VLAN. Supports dynamic VLAN allocation
   with automatic client assignment and fallback during DHCP failure, improving flexibility in
   network resource management.
4. *Optimized WPA3-Enterprise encryption options in Site View > Settings > Wired & Wireless
   Networks > WLAN > SSID > Advanced Settings > WPA Mode, with support for new
   encryption modes.

5. Added support for configuring LDAP authentication for SSIDs in Site View > Settings >
Authentication > MAC-Based Authentication. LDAP integrates directly with existing
directory services, eliminating the need to maintain a separate user database and lowering
maintenance effort.
6. *Added support for Hotspot 2.0 in Site View > Settings > Wired & Wireless Networks >
WLAN > SSID (WPA-Enterprise) > Hotspot 2.0 BETA. This feature enables Wi-Fi roaming
similar to cellular networks, allowing users to authenticate via software or carrier-provided
profiles and connect seamlessly to any Hotspot 2.0-supported network. Three operator
identification methods are supported: PLMN ID, Roaming Consortium OI, and Operator
Domain.
7. *Added support for the “Prohibit Wi-Fi Sharing” option in Site View > Settings > Wired &
Wireless Networks > WLAN > SSID > Advanced Settings. When enabled, the connected
clients will be prohibited to share the Wi-Fi with other clients.
8. *Added support for applying authentication profiles with multiple RADIUS servers to PPSK
With RADIUS in Site View > Settings > Wired & Wireless Networks > WLAN > SSID >
Security: PPSK With RADIUS.
9. Added support for EAPs to report GPS information in Site View > Device > Properties
Window (AP) > Config > General Config and display their location on the Device Map.
10. Added support for managing devices via ZTP (Zero-Touch Provisioning) in Global Device List
/ Site Device List > Add Devices > Manually Add / Import. Devices can be added manually
by entering a device key or imported using a file (.xlsx, .xls, or .csv). Device Management
must be configured prior to adding devices, and a stable Cloud Access connection is
required.
11. Added support for one-click site migration between different Customers in MSP mode in
MSP View > Site > Migrate Site.
12. Added support for running speed tests between Bridge APs in Site View > Device >
Properties Window (AP) > Tools > Speed Test. Firmware update required to enable this
feature.
13. *Added support for IoT Transport Streams and Bluetooth Advertising in Site View > Settings

Wired & Wireless Networks > Bluetooth.

14. *Added support for disabling the reset button via Controller on EAPs in Site View > Devices

Properties Window (AP) > Config > General.

15. *Added support for VLAN configuration on VoIP ports in Site View > Devices > Properties
    Window (AP) > Config > Services.
16. Added support for assigning a Site URL to devices to ensure they are discovered only under
    the specified Site. First, enable Device Management in Global View / MSP View > Settings >
    System Settings > Device Management. Then, copy the Site URL from the Site List. The Site
    URL can be pushed to devices using the Omada Discovery Utility. Currently OLTs do not
    support this function.
17. Added support for Vietnamese in Account Settings > My Profile > Profile > Language.
18. Optimized global 2FA/MFA enforcement for both local and cloud accounts in Account
    Settings > Account Security > Two-Factor Authentication (2FA). When the global 2FA
    switch is enabled, cloud users without personal 2FA configured will be restricted from
    launching the controller via Cloud Access.
19. Added support for defining the domain name used for the portal client's logout page.
20. Added support for the “Temporary User” type in Accounts > Add New User / Edit.
21. New Portal Capabilities

Added support for displaying authentication information and querying identity details
(Voucher Code, RADIUS Name, etc.) for portal-authenticated clients on the Clients page.
Added support for displaying authentication information and querying identity details
for portal-authenticated clients under Insights > Past Connections.
Added support for configuring multiple voucher availability periods (unlimited, daily, or
weekly time ranges) under Hotspot > Vouchers > Voucher Groups.
Added support for displaying the used duration and remaining duration of vouchers
under Hotspot > Vouchers > Voucher Groups > Details.
Added support for clearing expired vouchers via a dedicated button under Hotspot >

Added support for increasing the limit of Pre-Authentication Access Entries. PreAuthentication Access and Authentication-Free Client now share a unified maximum
limit of 64 entries.
22. Added support to discover IPC/NVR devices in the network via Agile and Access Switch
(Firmware compatible with Controller v5.15.22 is required).
23. Added support for the Home page in standard Site View, which allows a visual overview of
device topology within the Site. This feature enables Guard network topology visualization
on the page with device recognition via Switch.
24. Added support for IntelliRecover in Site View > Home > Quick Config. This feature can
automatically detect the status of devices using PoE power supply and trigger a PoE power
supply restart to attempt device recovery instead of manual maintenance.
25. Added support for Cable Test in Site View > Network Tools. This feature supports wire
cable status detection and cable length measurement. This feature requires an Agile and
Access Switch to work well (Firmware compatible with Controller v5.15.22 is required).
26. Added support for disconnected device alerts. This feature provides real-time monitoring of
IntelliRecover device connection status, and send alert notifications immediately when a
device disconnects and recovery fails.

Enhancements

1. *Optimized portal HTTPS redirection behavior. When "HTTP Redirect to HTTPS" for Portal is
   enabled in Global View / MSP View > Settings > System Settings > HTTP Redirect to
   HTTPS for Portal, clients connecting to the AP's SSID will be directly redirected by the AP to
   the HTTPS portal authentication page.
