Optional: Configuring Remote Auto Install

****************** REMOTE AUTO INSTALL TERMINATING*****************

+The RAI process is complete and is preoceding to system initialization where it will process the new startup- config file.

Configuring RAI for DHCP over LAN

The following example configures DHCP server to be used with RAI over Ethernet. Note that there is no need for a DNS server because the startup-configname is provided by the DHCP server. Begin by creating an IP local pool which will include the Fast/GigabitEthernet interface address:

XSR(config)#ip local pool dhcp 200.1.0.0 255.255.255.0l

Next, configure the interface that will service the remote device, set the IP address inside the pool defined earlier, and enable DHCP Server:

XSR(config)#interface GigabitEthernet 2

XSR(config-if<G2>)#ip address 200.1.0.4 255.255.255.0

XSR(config-if<G2>)#ip dhcp server

XSR(config-if<G2>)#no shutdown

Now configure the following DHCP Client parameters:

XSR(config)#ip dhcp pool dhcp

XSR(config-dhcp-pool)#lease 0 0 10

+This command sets a lease interval of 10 minutes

XSR(config-dhcp-pool)#hardware-address 0001.f412.2334

+This command sets the MAC address of the client

XSR(config-dhcp-pool)#host 200.1.0.66 255.255.255.0

+This command binds 200.1.0.66/24 to the earlier configured hardware address

XSR(config-dhcp-pool)#option 12 instance 0 ascii etr1

+This command sets the Client hostname as etr1

XSR(config-dhcp-pool)#option 150 instance 0 ip 1.1.1.1

+This command configures the TFTP server IP address to 1.1.1.1

XSR(config-dhcp-pool)#option 67 instance 0 ascii etr1-startup-confg

+This command enters the config-file name as startup-config

Remember to save your configuration after all edits.

Configuring RAI over ADSL

In the following example, a remote XSR is connected to an ADSL network at the central site with a PPPoE server. A TFTP server runs on a separate machine - 192.168.72.118, while the PPPoE server runs on a CISCO router. The PPPoE server can reside on any other device providing PPPoE session termination and has a mechanism to direct TFTP broadcast packets to a specific IP address. A DNS server is not required with this method because RAI over ADSL uses the serial number of the XSR for the startup-configname.

The following is a CISCO configuration at the the central site:

vpdn enable

+Enables a virtual private dial-up network configuration on the router.

vpdn-group 1

+Creates a VPDN session group and links it to a virtual template.
