The only option you must configure on the slave is to set the unique server ID. If this option is not already set, or the current value conflicts with the value that you have chosen for the master server, then you should shutdown your slave server, and edit the configuration to specify the server id. For example:

[mysqld]
server-id=2

If you are setting up multiple slaves, each one must have a unique server-id value that differs from that of the master and from each of the other slaves. Think of server-id values as something similar to IP addresses: These IDs uniquely identify each server instance in the community of replication partners.

If you do not specify a server-id value, it is set to 1 if you have not defined master-host; otherwise it is set to 2. Note that in the case of server-id omission, a master refuses connections from all slaves, and a slave refuses to connect to a master. Thus, omitting server-id is good only for backup with a binary log.

You do not have to enable binary logging on the slave for replication to be enabled. However, if you enable binary logging on the slave then you can use the binary log for data backups and crash recovery on the slave, and also use the slave as part of a more complex replication topology.
