Introduction
This chapter leads you through the basic steps to set up a new SmartNode and to download a configuration.
Setting up a new SmartNode consists of the following main steps:
Note
If you haven’t already installed the SmartNode, refer to chapter 3,
“SmartNode installation” on page 22.
• Configuring the desired IP address
• Connecting the SmartNode to the network
• Loading the configuration (optional)
Configuring the desired IP address
Factory-default IP settings
The factory default configuration for the Ethernet interface IP addresses and network masks are listed in table 6.
The Ethernet 0/0 port uses the DHCP client to automatically assign the IP address and network mask.
Connecting the SmartNode to the network
The SmartNode 4940 Series 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 6).
