Downloading a configuration example, adapting it to your network,
and loading it onto the SmartNode
Patton provides a collection of configuration templates on the support page at
www.patton.com/smartnode
—
one of which may be similar enough to your application that you can use it to speed up configuring the Smart-
Node. 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 SmartNode can now load its configuration from this server.
Note
If your application is unique and not covered by any of Patton’s configura-
tion templates, you can manually configure the SmartNode instead of load-
ing a configuration file template. In that case, refer to the
SmartWare
Software Configuration Guide
for information on configuring the SmartNode
device.
In this example we assume the TFTP server on the host with the IP address 172.16.1.11 and the configuration
named
SN.cfg
in the root directory of the TFTP server.
172.16.1.99(if-ip)[eth0]#
copy tftp://172.16.1.11/SN.cfg startup-config
Download...100%
172.16.1.99(if-ip)[eth0]#
After the SmartNode has been rebooted the new startup configuration will be activated.
172.16.1.99(if-ip)[eth0]#
reload
Running configuration has been changed.
Do you want to copy the 'running-config' to the 'startup-config'?
Press 'yes' to store, 'no' to drop changes :
no
Press 'yes' to restart, 'no' to cancel :
yes
The system is going down
Additional information
For detailed information about configuring and operating guidance, set up procedures, and troubleshooting,
refer to the
SmartNode 4400 User Manual
available online at
www.patton.com/manuals/SN4400.pdf
and
the
SmartNode Series SmartWare Software Configuration Guide
available online at
www.patton.com/manuals
.
When you issue the
reload
command, the SmartNode will ask
if you want to copy the running configuration to the startup con-
figuration. Since you just downloaded a configuration file to the
startup configuration you must answer this question with
NO
.
Otherwise, the downloaded configuration will be overwritten
and lost!
