These are the steps for the Omnia Turris switch setup, used in the SDN/MUD project.
The front panel of the turris switch that I have looks like:
The back panel of the turris switch that I have looks like:
The Turris Omnia router has a reset button on its back panel. When you press and immediately release the reset button the router resets and boots into ordinary Turris.
To enter a specific reset mode, press the button and hold until the LED turns orange. There are different reset modes:
- 1 LED: Standard (re)boot
- 2 LEDs: Rollback to latest snapshot
- 3 LEDs: Rollback to factory reset
- 4 LEDs: Re-flash router from flash drive
- 5 LEDs or more: Boot to rescue shell
The ones that I used the most (except mode 1 of course) are 3 and 4.
If you want to reset your switch to factory settings, use mode 3. If the switch is broken beyond repair use mode 4.
In mode 4, download the OS image. Save the file omnia-medkit-latest.tar.gz to USB flash to the root directory and put the USB flash to the front panel USB connector of the Turris Omnia router. The Turris Omnia router supports following filesystems: ext2/3/4, BtrFS, XFS and FAT. After that use reset button to select mode 4 (4 LEDs) Once the process has completed writing the OS, remove the USB flash and access the switch on IP address 192.168.1.1.
(source here.)
If you enter the switch from mode 4 or for the first time, you will be prompted to a wizard that will help you configure the switch. There are 10 or 11 steps and are very clear. There should be no issue with this step.
Configuration I used:
- WAN IP: 10.0.40.26/24
- Gateway: 10.0.40.254
- DNS servers: 10.0.20.200, 8.8.8.8
- LAN: 192.168.1.0/24
- Disabled both WLAN1 and WLAN2 (temporarly)
- Update the packages list: go to System->Software and update the packages.
- OpenVSwitch: find and install all openvswitch packages.
First thing is to test using wired connections. I have 2 Raspberry Pis that I need to connect to the switch.
In this part the wireless APs are disabled.
Enable at least one WLAN.
