SLARP - Serial Line Address Resolution Protocol.
SLARP is most commonly used with auto-install.
Please note: the documentation and how it actually behaves, seems quite
different.
1. A router without a configuration boots
2. Router determines the is no config, and attempts to enable all
interfaces.
3. Attempts to find an IP addresss
A. On LAN interfaces it sends a BOOTP request
B. On Serial Interface it sends out a SLARP Request
A SLARP request is asking for the IP address of the device on the other end
of a point-to-point link.
The other device replies with it's own IP address.
The Appendix of the ICRC books states:
"The device will take the first available IP address on the subnet."
In reality, it seems to work best if you have the IP address at the other
end of .1 or .2
If the existing device is .1, the new router with choose .2 and visa versa.
4. Auto-install continues.... find network-confg file, determine router
name, find routername-confg file, etc...
