• Initial Configuration
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.

Patton provides a collection of configuration templates on the support page at:
http://www.patton.com/support/kb.asp
—one of which may be similar enough to your application that you
can use it to speed up configuring the SmartNode. Simply download the configuration note that matches your
application to your PC. Adapt the configuration as described in the configuration note to your network
(remember to modify the IP address) and copy the modified configuration to a TFTP server. The SmartNode
can now load its configuration from this server.
Note
If your application is unique and not covered by any of Patton’s configura-
tion templates, you can manually configure the SmartNode instead of load-
ing a configuration file template. In that case, refer to the SmartNode Series
Trinity Configuration Guide for information on configuring the SmartNode
device.
In this example we assume the TFTP server on the host with the IP address 172.16.1.11 and the configuration
named
SN.cfg
in the root directory of the TFTP server.
172.16.1.99(if-ip)[WAN]#copy tftp://172.16.1.11/sn.cfg startup-config
172.16.1.99(if-ip)[WAN]#
After the SmartNode has been rebooted the new startup configuration will be activated.
172.16.1.99(if-ip)[WAN]
#reload
