• Initial Configuration
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).

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.
Note
The modified configuration is applied immediately. It is not necessary to
reboot the device when changing any configuration parameter.

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. The SmartNode 4170
Series 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
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.
CAUTION
For the ISDN connection to a carrier network, it shall be con-
nected to a network termination device and not connected
directly to an outside POTS line.
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>
Note
If the WAN address is
not
set to DHCP, to ping a device outside your local
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.)
