SwOS boots but cannot access

SwOS
1

Hi!
Got a new CRS317, bootet RouterOS, went to 192.168.88.1, switch the Boot to SwOS, bootet.

At this point I lose the Switch: no response on neither 192.168.88.1 nor 192.168.88.2.

I tried to be smart and connected the serial console. I got into a menu, tried an awful lot of resets … no effect.
What is striking me, is that it reports an IP-address of 0.0.0.0 when booting SwOS. In some post I have seen it should be the expected 192.168.88.1

I can happily switch back to RouterOS which works as expected, but there is no way to have SwOS boot and be available at 192.168.88.something.

I would expect it to report on boot and listen to 192.168.88.1 (or 2). But all I get is 0.0.0.0 in the boot status.

In some post I saw someone using the boot primary SwOS option (p). I believe I tried this once, but since then that menu item is gone.

The system reports to boot a SwOS 2.10p, but only on the console, no way to make it answer on the network.

I access the switch via its Gbit port. Directly from a notebook with nothing active in between. I am pretty sure that the notebook itself is properly configured for 192.168.88.0/24 as it works nicely when RouterOS is on.

I should point out that for now … nothing else is on the switch. I was just trying to bring it to SwOS before connecting any further devices.

Any clue? Any hint? … Help! :frowning:

Can you hook up the switch to something that will provide a DHCP address (usually your router). Then look at the DHCP server to see what address was assigned. Then try to go to that address.with a web browser.

i am having the same problem, did you get it worked out? what was the solution? i have tried allsorts and attaching to a dhcp server has no affect.

I have a CRS328 and I have the same problem. I boot into ROS, access the default 192.168.88.1 ip adress without any problems. I boot into SWOS and I can no longer access the switch. My DHCP server doesn’t get any dhcp-request from the switch. I have tried setting another ip-address before booting into SWOS - no difference.
