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

Copy this modified configuration to your 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 to the Network
In general, the SmartNode will connect to the network via the WAN (ETH 0/0) port. The SmartNode SN4170
is equipped with an Auto-MDX Ethernet port, so you can use straight through or crossover cables for host or
hub/switch connections. (see
figure 9 on page 31).
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.
