7. The router boots.
8. The router uses TFTP to get application files as it needs them.
The ASN can continue to request files, even after it begins bridging and
routing traffic.
9. The router begins bridging and routing network traffic in accordance with the
configuration file.
If a network boot fails, the ASN waits to be booted by a neighboring slot. (A
single-slot ASN will instead attempt the Local Boot procedure.)
Note: The ASN supports Netbooting over multiple slots. The first slot to
retrieve startup files forces the other slots to use those files.
