Connect the SmartNode to the networkDepending whether you connect the SmartNode to a host directly or via a hub or switch either straight-through wired or cross-over cables must be used (see figure 26).Note The SmartNode 4520 Series is equipped with Auto-MDX Ethernet ports.Use straight-through or cross-over cables for host or hub/switch connections.The SmartNode 4110 will require the proper cable as it does not have theMDX feature.Figure 26. Connecting the SmartNode to the networkYou can check the connection with the ping command to another host on the local LAN.172.16.1.99(if-ip)[eth0]#ping host>Respectively from the host: ping 172.16.1.99Note To ping outside your local LAN, you will need to configure the default gateway.3.
