Figure 5-2:Use BOOTP or RARP to Acquire the New
Router's IP Address
AutoInstall over Frame Relay is a special case in that the existing
router acts as a BOOTP server and responds to the incoming BOOTP
request. Only a helper address and a Frame Relay map need to be set
up. No MAC-to-IP address map is needed on the existing router.
The AI2524 routers can be configured to act as a RARP server.
Because the router attempts to resolve its host name as soon as one in-
terface resolves its IP address, only one IP address needs to be set up
with SLARP, BOOTP, or RARP.
Resolve the IP Address to the Host Name
The new router resolves its IP address-to-host name mapping by send-
ing a TFTP broadcast requesting the file network-confg, as shown in
Figure 5-3 .
