help with seastone DX010

[dgalaz]

Hello everyone, I just acquired this seastone DX010 switch, but the truth is that I do not know anything about this equipment, it has a console cable, but when I connect it to my PC nothing comes out, only strange symbols, I have changed the cable, USB port and PC, but I still have the same problem, can someone guide me please

Check baud rate maybe? Should be 115200

Thanks, for the data, now it shows me the console well, one more question, will you have any link or manual that teaches how to load an operating system, as I mentioned it is the first time that I use it and I have not found much data on the internet

One thread will suffice...

For installation see Onie documentation User Guide — Open Network Install Environment documentation

You probably want to install SoNIC, unless you have any commercial OS available

Just setup my CX 0010 a few minutes ago. So it's still very fresh.
SERIAL: 115200 8n1
or SSH (mac address is on a tag on the switch front to figure out your DHCP assigned address)

1) Supported Devices and Platforms · Azure/SONiC Wiki (github.com) download the bin.
2 python 2.7) in your shell\command prompt run python -m SimpleHttpServer 8000
2 python 3) in your shell\command prompt run python -m http.server 8000 --bind <Your local IP>
3) Put the Sonic .bin in your user folder wherever Python serves files from by default on your platform. (Open a web browser. On Windows it's your C:\users\username\ folder on linux I think it's /usr/
4) In ONIE type onie-nos-install http://###.###.###.###:8000/sonic-broadcom.bin
*Reboot*
5) Login with admin\YourPaSsWoRd

You're in. If you want to configure it to be an L2 mode.

7) sudo sonic-cfggen -H -k -o Seastone-DX010 --preset=l2 > config_db.json
8) sudo config reload -y

@im.thatoneguy Thanks for the guide, but I think command 7) is off, I get the following when I execute it:

sonic-cfggen: error: argument -k/--hwsku: expected one argument

This one worked for me though:

sudo sonic-cfggen -H -k Seastone-DX010 --preset=l2 > config_db.json

(removing the -o)

Step 8 is also missing the input file as a parameter:

sudo config reload -y  config_db.json
