Connecting The Smartnode To The Network - Patton SmartNode 4960 Series Getting Started Manual

SmartNode 4960 Getting Started Guide
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 this 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]#ipaddress 172.16.1.99 255.255.255.0

172.16.1.99(if-ip)[WAN]#
Copy this modified configuration to your new start-up configuration. This will store your changes in non-vol-
atile memory. Upon the next start-up the system will initialize itself using the modified configuration.
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.

3. 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. The SmartNode 4960 Series is
equipped with Auto-MDX Ethernet ports, so you can use straight-through or crossover cables for host or hub/
switch connections (see

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.
