The present invention relates generally to configuration of routers in a communication WAN and more particularly with the problems of substantial wor k with manual configuration of routers in a WAN and the need for automation of the configuration process. A new node is added to an existing router within an Intranetwork. The node is to be configured to act like a router. A physical connection and a Point to Point link are established between the existing router and the new node. A routing protocol is started to make it possible f or the new node to send and retrieve IP traffic. The new node finds automatical ly the essential resources to receive configuration information. By means of th e configuration information, the new node is automatically configured.
