Figure 5-1:Using SLARP to Acquire the New Router's IP

Address

zIn response to BOOTP or RARP requests, an IP address is sent from the BOOTP or RARP server to newrouter.

A BOOTP or RARP server must have already been set up to map newrouter's MAC address to its IP address. If the BOOTP server does not reside on the directly attached network segment, routers between newrouter and the BOOTP server can be configured with the ip helper-addresscommand to allow the request and response to be forwarded between segments, as shown in Figur 5-2.
