net to connect to the new router from the existing router and use the setup facility to configure the rest of the interfaces. For example, th line in the network-confg or cisconet.cfg file could be similar to:

ip host newrouter 131.108.170.1

This host configuration file contains the minimal set of commands needed for AutoInstall using SLARP or BOOTP:

enable-password letmein

!

line vty 0 password letmein

!

end

The preceding example shows a minimal configuration for connecting from a router one hop away. From this configuration, use the setup fa- cility to configure the rest of the interfaces. If the router is more than one hop away, you also must include routing information in the mini- mal configuration.

This example minimal network configuration file maps the new router's IP address, 131.108.10.2, to the host name newrouter. The new router's address was learned via SLARP and is based on the exist- ing router's IP address of 131.108.10.1.

ip host newrouter 131.108.10.2

Set Up the BOOTP or RARP Server

If the new router is connected to the existing router using an Ethernet, Token Ring, or FDDI interface, you must configure a BOOTP or RARP server to map the new router's MAC address to its IP address. If the new router is connected to the existing router using a serial line with HDLC encapsulation or if you are configuring AutoInstall over Frame Relay, these tasks are not required.

To configure a BOOTP or RARP server, complete one of these tasks:

1.If BOOTP is to be used to resolve the new router's IP address, con- figure your BOOTP server. Refer to your host vendor's manual pages and to RFCs 951 and 1395.
