In general, the SmartNode will connect to the network via the
WAN (DSL)
port. This enables the SmartNode to
offer routing services to the PC hosts on
LAN (ETH 0/))
port. The SmartNode 4650 ADSL2+ Series provides an
auto-MDX feature for both Ethernet ports, so you can use a straight-through or cross-over cable to connect to a
host or a switch (see
figure 2
).

set to DHCP, to ping a device outside your local LAN you must first configure
the default gateway. (For information on configuring the default gateway, refer to section “Set IP
addresses” in Appendix C, “Command Summary” of the
