Patton electronic 4630 Series manual Connecting the SmartNode to the network

SmartNode 4630 Getting Started Guide 4 • Initial configuration

Now you can set your IP address and network mask for the interface ETH 0/0 (WAN). Within this example a network 172.16.1.0/24 address is assumed. The IP address in this example is set to 172.16.1.99 (you should set this the IP address given to you by your network provider).

192.168.1.1(ctx-ip)[router]#interface eth0

192.168.1.1(if-ip)[eth0]#ipaddress			172.16.1.99 255.255.255.0
2002-10-29T00:09:40	: LOGINFO	:	Link	down on interface eth0.
2002-10-29T00:09:40	: LOGINFO	:	Link	up on interface eth0.

172.16.1.99(if-ip)[eth0]#

Copy this modified configuration to your new start-up configuration. This will store your changes in non-vol- atile memory. Upon the next start-up the system will initialize itself using the modified configuration.

172.16.1.99(if-ip)[eth0]#copy running-config startup-config

172.16.1.99(if-ip)[eth0]#

The SmartNode can now be connected to your network.

3. Connecting the SmartNode to the network

In general, the SmartNode will connect to the network via the WAN (ETH 0/0) port. This enables the Smart- Node to offer routing services to the PC hosts on LAN (ETH 0/1) port. The SmartNode 4630 Series is equipped with Auto-MDX Ethernet ports, so you can use straight-through or crossover cables for host or hub/ switch connections (see figure 8).

The interconnecting cables shall be acceptable for external use and shall be rated for the proper application with respect to volt- age, current, anticipated temperature, flammability, and

CAUTION mechanical serviceability.

When this device is used in North America, it shall be connected to a Network Termination Device and not connected directly to an outside POTS line.
