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 12. Connecting the SmartNode to the network
You can check the connection with the ping command from the SmartNode to another host on 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.
