SmartNode 5200 Quick Start Guide 7
Copy this modified configuration to your new start-up configuration. This will store your changes in non-volatile
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.
5.0 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 SmartNode
to offer routing services to the PC hosts on LAN (ETH 0/1) port. The SmartNode 5200 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 4).
Figure 4. 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>
Note If the WAN address is not set to DHCP, to ping a device outside your local LAN you must first configure
the default gateway. (For information on configuring the default gateway, refer to section “Set IP
addresses” in Appendix C, “Command Summary” of the SmartNode Series SmartWare Software Config-
uration Guide.)
The interconnecting cables shall be acceptable for external use and shall be rated for the proper appli-
cation with respect to voltage, current, anticipated temperature, flammability, and mechanical service-
ability.
