METHODS FOR AUTO-CONFIGURING A ROUTER ON AN IP SUBNET
First Claim
1. A non-transitory processor-readable medium storing instructions for determining configuration information to support configuration of a network device for connection to a communication network subnet, the instructions comprising:
- instructions executable to monitor control traffic on the communication network subnet, at least some of the control traffic not comprising an address of the network device; and
instructions executable to determine, from the control traffic, configuration attributes for connecting the network device to the communication network subnet.

Abstract
An autoconfiguring data router is connected to a communications network subnet having a second network data router. The autoconfiguring data router includes a configuration determination module that determines configuration attributes for operably connecting the autoconfiguring data router to the subnet, and an autoconfiguration module that configures the autoconfiguring data router according to the configuration attributes so that the autoconfiguring data router is operably connected to the subnet.
