SmartNode 4400 Quick Start Guide
Connecting the SmartNode to the LAN
The 4400 Ethernet ports are auto MDX, therefore a straight-through wired cable can be used for host and
switch connections (see
figure 3
).
Figure 3. Connecting the SmartNode to the network
You can check the connection with the ping command to another host on the local LAN.
172.16.1.99(if-ip)[eth0]#ping <IP Address of the host>
Respectively from the host:
ping 172.16.1.99
Note
To ping outside your local LAN, you will need to configure the
default gateway.
You may now start to configure the SmartNode from scratch using the CLI commands, but we recommend
that you start your configuration from a template. See
“Downloading a configuration example, adapting it to
your network, and loading it onto the SmartNode”
on page 8 for further details.
For a detailed description of the CLI refer to the
SmartWare Software Configuration Guide
