Issue
The Cumulus Linux switch boots but nothing is coming up. I want every switch port (swp) enabled and in a single VLAN (simple switch mode). How can I do this?
Note: There is a script that can do this automatically, see the See Also section below.
Environment
- Cumulus Linux 2.1 and newer
Resolution
Simply use the glob
option. Configure a simple bridge that contains all ports by configuring the following in the /etc/network/interfaces
file:
auto br0 iface br0 bridge-ports glob swp1-52
bridge-stp on
Then run ifup
on the bridge:
cumulus@switch$ sudo ifup br0
To look at all the bridge ports within the bridge, use the Linux brctl show
command:
cumulus@switch$ brctl show br0 bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces br0 8000.4438390025d8 no swp1 swp10 swp11 swp12 swp13 swp14 swp15 -cut off for brevity-
