The router obtains all startup files from a remote UNIX- or
DOS-based workstation that is configured as a Trivial File

Requires a local
an.exe
file (for the AN or ANH) or
arn.exe
file (for the ARN), a local console connection, and a
communications link over an HDLC, Frame Relay, Ethernet,
or Token Ring* interface.

The router boots using a software router image and
configuration file stored in local memory.
During the initial startup, the router uses a generic startup

Quick-Start
procedure.
Quick-Start requires a local console and an active IP
network connection.
