## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
Plugin functionality overview and links to external resources if relevant. Include use cases if available.
|
||||
The OMADA SDN plugin aims at synchronizing data between NetAlertX and a TPLINK OMADA SND controler by leveraging a tplink omada python library.
|
||||
#### features:
|
||||
1. extract list of OMADA Clients from OMADA and sync them up with NetAlertX
|
||||
2. extract list of OAMDA Devices (switches and access points) and sync them up with NetAlertX

|
||||
### Quick setup guide
|
||||
|
||||
1. You SHOULD (ie: strongly recommend) setting up a dedicated account in your OMADA SDN console dedicated to NetAlertX OMADA_SDN plugin.
|
||||
- you should set USER TYPE = Local USer
|
||||
- you should set USER ROLE = Administrator (if you use a read-only role you won't be able to sync names from NetAlerX to OMADA SDN)
|
||||
- you can set Site Privileges = All Sites (or limit it to specific sites )
|
||||
|
||||
2. populate the variables in NetAlertX as instructed in the config plugin page.

### Notes

|

- Additional notes, limitations, Author info.
|
||||
#### features not implemented yet:
|
||||
3. extract list of OAMDA router Devices (er605...) and sync them up with NetAlertX
|
||||
(I need to setup my own er605 however due to its limitations I have no use for it, and due to limitations of opensense dhcp servers, I can't deploy it yet without breaking dhcp self registration into opnsense unbound - see below)
|
||||
|
||||
#### know limitations:
|
||||
OMADA SDN limitation fixed by the plugin:
|
||||
0. OMADA SDN can't use DNS for names and keep using MAC ref: https://community.tp-link.com/en/business/forum/topic/503782
|
||||
- when you use an OMADA user Role = Administrator, the plugin will attempt to fix OMADA's shortcoming and populat the NAME field from NetAlertX (from DNS/DHCP/...)

can not fix some of tplinks OMADA SDN own limitations/bugs:
|
||||
1. OMADA SDN switches uplinks/downlinks is broken if the default router is not an OMADA native device
|
||||
- (I try to circumvent that through a tree parsing heuristic but your mileage might vary...)
|
||||
- ref: https://community.tp-link.com/en/business/forum/topic/673628
|
||||
2. OMADA SDN clients are sometimes mapped to the wrong switch/port... for instance:
|
||||
- client -> access_switch1/port1 -> core_switch2/port2 sometimes shows as client -> core_switch2/port2
|
||||
- it is unclear if this issue is realted to (1)
|
||||
3. OMADA er605 routers do not self register DHCP names with a remote unbound DNS (nor embded DNS):
|
||||
- ref: https://community.tp-link.com/en/business/forum/topic/542472
|
||||
- it looks like some release candidate firmware might provide this feature... I will test when opnsesne Kea self registration get fixed as well(4)and I can get it dhcp proxy to work.
|
||||
4. Opnsense dhcp doesn't support relay and self-registration at the same time...
|
||||
- opnsense legacy ISC dhcp server doesn't support dhcp proxies: ref: https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=34254.0
|
||||
- opnsense new kea dhcp server doesn't support dns self registration (yet) ref: https://github.com/opnsense/core/pull/7362
|
||||
5. incompatible devices:
|
||||
- OMADA EAP245 - to be fair to tp-link, this access point works inside OMADA SDN, so it might be an issue with our omada python library but we can't extract data from it.
