You can check the connection with the ping command to another host on the local LAN.

3. Load configuration

Patton provides a collection of configuration templates on the CD-ROM that came with the OnSite device,
one of which may be similar enough to your application that you can use it to speed up configuring the OnSite
router. Simply download the configuration note that matches your application to your PC. Adapt the configu-
ration as described in the configuration note to your network (remember to modify the IP address) and copy
the modified configuration to a TFTP server. The OnSite VPN Router can now load its configuration from
this server.
In this example we assume the TFTP server on the host with the IP address 172.16.1.11 and the configuration
named IPL.cfg in the root directory of the TFTP server.
172.16.1.99(if-ip)[eth0]#copy tftp://172.16.1.11/IPL.cfg startup-config
