How To Use Quick Remote

Quick Remote OperationQuick Remote Operation

Quick Remote maintains in the central router one or more minimal router configurations that are accessed through the router’s WAN port(s). That is:

1.In the central router, an operator uses Quick Remote to create a mini- mal configuration that will be available via a WAN port on that router.

2.When a WAN port on a remote router is connected to the same point- to-point link as the WAN port on the central router, and powered up, the remote router downloads the configuration from step 1, above, boots itself, and begins routing. (The remote router must be in the factory default configuration at power-up.)

Thus, in the following illustration, to configure remote router X, you would assign configuration A to WAN port 1, which is linked by an active HP Point-to-Point WAN connection to router X.
