SmartBoot
A companion feature introduced in the first half of 1994, SmartBoot, allows a
branch office access router to automatically retrieve its routing configura-
tion information after establishing a connection with a corporate or regional
router. With SmartBoot, routers at branch offices can literally be installed in
minutes by people with no special training.

SmartBoot is operating code that is implemented in both corporate/regional
and branch office routers. Quick Remote, one of the components of Smart-
Boot, lets a network administrator create and store configuration files on a
central site router for its attached branch office routers. All HP routers with
the exception of the HP Router PR can store one remote configuration per
WAN interface. The configuration files created with Quick Remote include
high-level information such as addresses and which of the bridging and rout-
ing (IP and/or IPX) modules are to be enabled. Two interfaces (one LAN,
and one WAN) can be configured per remote router using Quick Remote.
SmartBoot is ideal for routing applications using routers like the HP Router
FR and PR at branch office locations.
Branch office routers acquire their configuration when they are placed in
service. When the router first boots up, it sends a Bootp request on its WAN
interface. If the attached corporate router has a stored configuration for the
branch router, it is sent when the Bootp request is received. The branch
office router uses this configuration to complete its bootup sequence, after
which the branch office network is operational.
