Connecting the SmartNode to the Network

In general, the SmartNode will connect to the network via the WAN (ETH 0/0) port. The SmartNode
SN4970A is equipped with an Auto-MDX Ethernet port, 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
Command Line Reference Guide.)
