2.0 Configuring the desired IP address
2.1 Factory-default IP settings
The factory default configuration for the Ethernet interface IP addresses and netmasks are listed in table 1 . The
Ethernet 0/0 port uses DHCP client to get the IP address and netmask automatically from the service provider.
3.0 Connecting the SmartNode to the network
The SmartNode 4940 Series provides an auto-MDX feature for the Ethernet port, so you can use a straight-
through or cross-over cable to connect to a host or a switch (see
figure 1 ).
Figure 1. Connecting the SmartNode to the network
You can check the connection with the ping command from the SmartNode to another host on the local LAN.
