SmartNode 4940 Series Quick Start Guide 5
4.0 Loading the configuration (optional)
atton provides a collection of configuration templates on the support page at www.patton.com/smart-
node—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 config-
uration 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 SmartNode can now load its configuration from this server.
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 SmartNode
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)[WAN]#copy tftp://172.16.1.11/SN.cfg startup-
config

172.16.1.99(if-ip)[WAN]#
After you reboot the SmartNode the new startup configuration will become active.
172.16.1.99(if-ip)[WAN]#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!
