5.1 Booting the xDSL Router from Ethernet Network

By default, the Router is configured to boot from the on-board flash
memory. But it is possible boot via Ethernet network as well. The
executable image is stored in the local PC and is downloaded to the Router
via Ethernet network upon every reset. For this, the Router needs to be
configured and also a TFTP/BOOTP utility needs to be installed on the
local PC.
