SmartNode 5200 User Manual 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).
192.168.1.1(ctx-ip)[router]# interface eth0
192.168.1.1(if-ip)[eth0]#ipaddress 172.16.1.99 255.255.255.0
2002-10-29T00:09:40 : LOGINFO : Link down on interface eth0.
2002-10-29T00:09:40 : LOGINFO : Link up on interface eth0.
172.16.1.99(if-ip)[eth0]#
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)[eth0]# copy running-config startup-config
172.16.1.99(if-ip)[eth0]#
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. This enables the Smart-
Node to offer routing services to the PC hosts on LAN (ETH 0/1) port. The SmartNode 5200 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 ).
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.
