2. Connecting the SmartNode to the network

In general, the SmartNode will connect to the network via the ETH 0/0 (WAN) port. This enables the SmartNode to offer routing services to the PC hosts on the ETH 0/1 (LAN) port. The SmartNode 4900 Series is equipped with Auto-MDI-X Ethernet ports, so you can use straight-through or crossover cables for host or hub/switch connections (see figure 17).

Figure 18. Connecting the SmartNode to the network

You can check the connection with the ping command from the SmartNode to another host on the network.

172.16.1.99(if-ip)[eth0]#ping <IP Address of the host>

Respectively from the host: ping 172.16.1.99

Note To ping outside your local LAN, you will need to configure the default gateway. (For information on configuring the default gate- way, refer to section "Set IP addresses" in Appendix C, "Command Summary" of the SmartNode Series SmartWare Software Configura- tion Guide.)

3. Loading the configuration (optional)

Patton provides a collection of configuration templates on the support page at www.patton.com/smart- node—one of which may be similar enough to your application that you can use it to speed up configuring the SmartNode. Simply download the configuration note that matches your application to your PC. Adapt the configuration as described in the configuration note to your network (remember to modify the IP address) and copy the modified configuration to a TFTP server. The SmartNode can now load its configuration from this server.
