Advantages of Booting From Compact Flash
Booting from compact flash simplifies router setup. You can use a compact
flash card to preconfigure a router and simply send the card to a remote site.
Any person at the remote site can insert the compact flash card into the router,
connect the cables that will enable the LAN and WAN connections, and power
up the router. The ProCurve Secure Router will boot with the SROS.BIZ file
and startup-config on compact flash, and the router will be immediately
operational.
To check the configuration by remote, you can simply establish a Telnet or
Secure Shell (SSH) session with the router or use the Web browser interface.
