5.0 Loading the configuration (optional)
Patton provides a collection of configuration templates on the CD-ROM shipped with your SmartNode device—
and also on the support page at
—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 Smart-
Node can now load its configuration from this server.
Note
Patton regularly adds new configuration templates to the collection at
you do not see your application on the CD-ROM, it may have been added to the website.
Note
If your application is unique and not covered by any of Patton’s configuration templates, you can man-
ually configure the SmartNode instead of loading a configuration file template. In that case, refer to
the
SmartNode Series SmartWare Software Configuration Guide
for information on configuring the Smart-
Node device.
In this example we assume an TFTP server resides on the host with the IP address 172.16.1.11 and the configu-
ration file named
SN.cfg
resides in the root directory of the TFTP server.
172.16.1.99(if-ip)[eth_dsl]#
copy tftp://172.16.1.11/SN.cfg star-
tup-config

172.16.1.99(if-ip)[eth_dsl]#
After you reboot the SmartNode the new startup configuration will become active.
172.16.1.99(if-ip)[eth0]#
reload
Running configuration has been changed.
Do you want to copy the 'running-config' to the 'startup-config'?
Press 'yes' to store, 'no' to drop changes :
no
Press 'yes' to restart, 'no' to cancel : yes
The system is going down
When you issue the reload command, the SmartNode will ask if you want to copy the
running configuration to the startup configuration. Since you just downloaded a con-
figuration file to the startup configuration you must answer this question with NO.
Otherwise, the downloaded configuration will be overwritten and lost!
