Changing The Wan Ip Address (Optional); Connecting The Smartnode To The Network - Patton SmartNode 4740 Series User Manual

SmartNode 4740 Series (16–32 Ports) User Manual

Changing the WAN IP address (Optional)

Select the context IP mode to configure an IP interface.
192.168.1.1 (cfg) #context ip ROUTER
192.168.1.1 (ctx-ip) [ROUTER} #
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
the IP address given to you by your network provider).
192.168.1.1(ctx-ip)[Router]#interface WAN
192.168.1.1(if-ip)[WAN]#no ipaddress DHCP
192.168.1.1(if-ip)[WAN]#ipaddress WAN 172.16.1.99/24

172.16.1.99(if-ip)[WAN]#
Copy this modified configuration to you 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.
The modified configuration is applied immediately. It is not necessary to
Note
reboot the device when changing any configuration parameter.
172.16.1.99(if-ip) [WAN]#copy running-config startup-config
172.16.1.99(if-ip) [WAN]
The SmartNode can now be connected to your network.

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 (IP Routing License Required at addi-
tional cost). The SmartNode 4740 Series is equipped with Auto-MDX Ethernet ports, so you can use straight
through or crossover cables for host or hub/switch connections. (See
CAUTION

Connecting the SmartNode to the Network

: Link down on interface WAN.
: Link up on interface WAN.
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
mechanical serviceability.
