Downloading a configuration example, adapting it to your network,
and loading it onto the SmartNode
Patton provides a collection of configuration templates on the CD-ROM that came with the SmartNode
device—and also on the support page at
www.patton.com/voip/appnotes.shtml
—one of which may be simi-
lar enough to your application that you can use it to speed up configuring the SmartNode. Simply download
the configuration note that matches your application to your PC. Adapt the configuration 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
Patton regularly adds new configuration templates to the collection at
www.patton.com/voip/appnotes.shtml
,
so if you do not see your applica-
tion on the CD-ROM, it may have been added to the website.
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
SmartNode Series
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 Series SmartWare Software Configuration Guide
and the
SmartNode Getting Started Guide
on the enclosed Patton VoIP CD-ROM or at
http://www.patton.com/voip/
. On the CD-ROM you will also
find numerous freeware and shareware tools, including TFTP servers, Telnet clients, etc..
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!
