How To Use Quick Remote

Introducing Quick Remote

Introducing Quick Remote

Quick Remote is a component of SmartBoot that enables a central site to manage a remote router without specially trained personnel at the remote site. This means that, with the proper network preparation, a remote router can be installed and configured by simply removing it from its shipping carton, mounting it properly, attaching the necessary network cable(s), and connecting the power. Minimal configuration is automatic! (This operation also applies to a previously installed remote router that has been cleared to the factory default by using the Clear/Reset button combination.)

Quick Remote appears in the Main menu of most HP routers. It is used in a central router to enable any remote, series 200 or 400 HP router that has a WAN port to automatically download a minimal IP or IPX configuration over a WAN link from the central router.

Figure 8-1. Locating Quick Remote in the Main Menu

After a remote router has received a minimal configuration from a Quick Remote configuration in a central router, it reboots itself and begins IP and/or IPX routing. The remote router can then be more extensively configured, if necessary, by TFTP (Fput) or Telnet from another site. (The Quick Remote configuration also enables or disables bridging on the remote router.)
