SmartWare Software Configuration Guide
Introduction
This chapter introduces basic SmartWare configuration concepts. A good understanding of these concepts is
vital for the configuration tasks explained in the remaining chapters of this guide.
Patton strongly recommends that you read through this chapter because it introduces the fundamental ideas

find it much more intuitive to navigate through the CLI and configure specific features.
This chapter includes the following sections:
•
Contexts and gateways (see
•
Interfaces, ports, and bindings (see
•
Profiles and Use commands (see
Patton SmartNodes are multi-service network devices that offer high flexibility for the inter-working of circuit-

protocols, and applications, SmartWare configuration is based on a number of abstract concepts that represent
the various SmartWare components.
