Purchased Cool Switch but most Ethernet ports don't have internet for installed OS.


Hello. I got a good deal on a Edgecore AS4610-54P 54 port barebone switch (https://www.edge-core.com/productsIn...&cls3=46&id=20) and wanted to just use it as a dummy switch for the household because I already have a router set to dhcp. I installed a Open Network Linux debian8 build from here: https://opennetlinux.org/binaries/la...LLED.installer.

There are a few things I noticed.
1) The system LED and 48 Ethernet 1Gb LED's are off but the PSU1, PSU2, FAN, and 10G x 4, 20G x 2 LED are on. I have connected the pc to the switch via serial cable and can access it. In my router, I configured a static ip to the management port and can ping it on the network back and forth. However, when I plug a Ethernet from port 1 - 48 to another device, there is no internet connection to be found. How do I get the 48 Ethernet 1Gb ports working?

Please use "code" tags on terminal output to make it easier to read. They become available when you click the "Go Advanced" button beneath the compose/edit post window.

Let me see if I got this straight. You bought a 48-port switch that requires its own ip address (that sounds more like an access point than a switch, but I quibble). You gave it an ip address and connected it to your LAN, but, when you plug a device into any of the 48 ports on the switch, there is no connectivity.

Assuming that the ip address of the switch is within your subnet and that all the cables have tested as good, as this is a new device, my first guess would be warranty repair.

It is a managed switch.

It peaked my curiosity and from what little information I discovered from a quick search, Open Net linux is just the framework for the Network Operating System. The NOS does the real work of configuring the ports and managing traffic. I would agree that returning the device was a good move.

Correct, it is a managed switch. It was an open box item and I decided to return it and will get a replacement. When I used the management port, I was able to use the static ip I setup to connect to it, ping back and forth, login to the NOS OS I installed, etc. i believe it was defective due to most of the LEDs being off before and after NOS install. Thank you for the comments. i hope the replacement works properly.

I found out it doesnt come with an OS. It's a barebone switch and the website said i had 3 choices from which to install: cumulus linux which requires yearly payments, Pica8 OS which i think requires yearly payments bcause i saw something on the site that said u had to get a license, and Open Network Linux which seems to be free.

I ended up replacing the switch with another one just like it and everything works! Thanks everyone.
