4 • 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 this the IP address given to you by your network provider).

2002-10-29T00:09:40 : LOGINFO : Link up on interface WAN.
172.16.1.99(if-ip)[WAN]#
Copy this modified configuration to your new start-up configuration. This will store your changes in non-vol-
atile memory. Upon the next start-up the system will initialize itself using the modified configuration.
172.16.1.99(if-ip)[WAN]#
copy running-config startup-config
172.16.1.99(if-ip)[WAN]#
The SmartNode can now be connected to your network.
3. Connecting the SmartNode to the network
In general, the SmartNode will connect to the network via the
WAN (ETH 0/0)
port. This enables the Smart-
Node to offer routing services to the PC hosts on
LAN (ETH 0/1)
port. The SmartNode 4950 Series is
equipped with Auto-MDX Ethernet ports, so you can use straight-through or crossover cables for host or hub/
switch connections (see
Figure 7. Connecting the SmartNode to the network
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.
