“Instant On” and SmartBoot
Implementing an internetwork with routers should not require that
numerous network administrators be trained and staffed at every site in an
organization. Ideally, routers should be installable and manageable by
centralized MIS administrators remotely. The simplified solution from HP
requires only that branch personnel place the router on a shelf, connect
communication cables, and apply power. The router begins network service
automatically, and any further configuration and administration can be done
by central site personnel. HP’s “Instant On” features include the following.
All configuration is done through software, and can be done
remotely; no hardware configuration settings are involved.
Software is preloaded; no disks to insert; no need to download the
operating system.
WAN interface type is automatically detected from the type of cable
attached; no switches or configuration needed.
WAN link configuration of leased lines to another HP router or
bridge is auto-detected and negotiated; no configuration for data-link
layer is needed.
SmartBoot: Branch office routers acquire their configuration
automatically when placed in service; no expert personnel required
at the branch site, only at the central site.
Detailed configuration at a console attached to the router not
required for bridging and/or routing to begin.
Branch Routing with SmartBoot
Once the cables are attached, HP routers automatically establish network
connections with the LANs and with other corporate or regional HP routers
(and HP Remote Bridges) on WAN links. Dynamic link configuration is used
for WAN links; preconfiguration is not required unless there are special link
requirements such as X.25, frame relay, or a phone number to automatically
dial. All links will bridge traffic at first.
