• Initial Configuration
Copy this modified configuration to you new start-up configuration. This will store your changes in non-
volatile memory. Upon the next start-up the system will initialize itself using the modified configuration.
Note
The modified configuration is applied immediately. It is not necessary to
reboot the device when changing any configuration parameter.
172.16.1.99(if-ip) [WAN]#
copy running-config startup-config

The SmartNode can now be connected to your network.
Connecting the SmartNode device to the network
In general, the SmartNode will connect to the network via the
WAN (ETH 0/0)
port. This enables the
SmartNode to offer routing services to the PC hosts on
LAN (ETH 0/1)
port. The SmartNode device is
equipped with Auto-MDX Ethernet ports, so you can use straight through or crossover cables for host or hub/
switch connections. (see
).
Figure 14. Connecting the SmartNode to the network
You can check the connection with the ping command from the SmartNode to another host on the network.
172.16.1.99(if-ip)[WAN]#ping <IP Address of the host>
Note
If the WAN address is
not
set to DHCP, to ping a device outside your local
LAN you must first configure the default gateway. (For information on con-
figuring the default gateway, refer to section “Set IP addresses” in the Trinity
Software Configuration Guide.)
Note
Connecting both Ethernet ports to the same switch will only work if the
switch has separate ARP tables for each connection.
