Figure 14. Ethernet Configuration page
The SmartNode supports two configuration options for the Ethernet connection (see
Figure 14
), as described
in the following paragraphs:
•
DHCP (client—factory default).
The SmartNode’s WAN port has a DHCP client enabled that uses an
established Internet connection to get the Internet connectivity parameters (IP address, default gateway)
automatically from a DHCP server. Use this option when connecting the SmartNode to a DSL router, a
cable modem, or to a company LAN (with a DHCP server). This is the factory default configuration so no
configuration is required, only the LAN and WAN Ethernet connections should be made to access the
Internet immediately.
•
User Defined Address.
The SmartNode uses an existing internet connection which does not provide an
upstream DHCP server. In this case, you need to set the IP address, subnet mask, default gateway and DNS
servers manually.
-
IP Address
—The IP address of the WAN Ethernet port.
-
IP Mask—
The mask for the WAN port’s IP address.
