Two Ethernet-port SmartNode models (SN4131/2ETH)

In general, the SmartNode will connect to the network via the WAN (ETH 0/0) port. The SmartNode 4131 is
equipped with Auto-MDX Ethernet ports, so you can use straight through or crossover cables for host or hub/
switch connections. (see
CAUTION
CAUTION
You can check the connection with the ping command from the SmartNode to another host on the network.
172.16.1.99(if-ip)[WAN]#ping <IP Address of the host>
If the WAN address is not set to DHCP, to ping a device outside your local
Note
LAN you must first configure the default gateway. (For information on con-
figuring the default gateway, refer to section "Set IP addresses" in the Trinity
Software Configuration Guide.)
Connecting both ethernet ports to the same switch will only work if the
Note
switch has separate ARP tables for each connection.
