The following steps resolved the issue and made it a normal dummy switch:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once log in the management interface:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 1: sudo bash # to bring a root interface;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 2: config vlan add 100 # This create a vlan;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 3: config interface ip remove Ethernet0 10.0.0.0 # do this to all 16 interfaces to remove their router status;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 4: config vlan member add 100 -u Ethernet0 # do this to all 16 interfaces to group all ports to a vlan;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 5: config clock timezone America\/New_York # set time zone of the switch;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 6: config clock YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS # set time;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 7: cp \/etc\/sonic\/config_db.json ~\/ # make a backup of the initial configuration;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 8: config save -y # save current configuration;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 9: reboot<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then you will get a working switch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Certainly, do not forget to reset the management password and management port (eth0) ip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Enjoy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
