2. If RARP is to be used to resolve the new router's IP address, con-
figure your RARP server. Refer to your host vendor's manual
pages and to RFC 903.
This example host configuration file contains the minimum set of
commands needed for AutoInstall using RARP. It includes the IP ad-
dress that will be obtained dynamical l y vi a BOOTP or RARP during
the AutoInstall process. When RARP is used, this extra information is
needed to specify the proper netmask for the i nterface.

Connect the New Router to the NetworkConnect the new router to the network using either an HDLC-encap-
sulated or Frame Relay-encapsulated serial interface or an Ethernet,
Token Ring, or FDDI interface. After the router successfully resolves
its host name, newrouter sends a TFTP broadcast requesting the file
name-confg or name.cfg. The router name must be in all lowercase,
even if the true host name is not. The file is downloaded to the new
router, where the configuration commands take effect immediately. If
the configuration file is complete, the new router should be fully oper-
ational. To save the complete configuration to NVRAM, complete
these tasks in privileged EXEC mode:
1. Enter privileged mode at the system prompt on the new router.
enable password
2. Save the information from the name-config file into your startup
configuration. This step saves the configuration to NVRAM.
