6.
The upstream router sends the IP address and subnet mask to the
booting router in a BOOTP response message.
7.
The ASN assigns the IP address and subnet mask to any synchronous
interface that receives a BOOTP response.
8.
The ASN stores these addresses, along with the address of the next-hop
router, in RAM.
Getting the Software Image and Configuration Files
After it gets the IP address, the ASN obtains its software image and configuration
files as follows:
1.
The ASN sends a BOOTP request for the pathnames of a configuration
file and software image file.
The ASN issues this request simultaneously through all synchronous and
Ethernet interfaces that have IP addresses. It issues this request periodically
through these ports for about 3 minutes, regardless of whether a cable is
connected.
