I don't have any internet and the lights just glow solid. Is that a indicator of an error?

I see the problem. You've caused an infinite loop. Gotta cut one of the cables so the data can get out.

It's really bad design having cables like that. You need to shift them all over by one so you can have a port for intake and for outflow.

Not a bad plan for storing packets for travel though.

I went ahead and mounted this in the rack. I cut every other loop and then wired the free ports into the core switch.

I think made sure STP was off on all devices. (That's how you avoid malware)

Why are you taking pictures during a broadcast? Can't you hear what they are saying? Must be stormy.
