Most of our customers just do management over the public network. There was one that had a PVC for management; I’m not sure why they did. Since CPEs do SSL, the thought is that it’s good enough.

So I thought I would poll and see how others are doing it. Because of technical reasons, we have to use the IP - modems don't do dual DNS stacks and we don't want to resolve all DNS on the management interface. As for DHCP option, I found a better way of doing this yesterday: # Define a custom option space for tr069 options option space tr069; option tr069.acs-server-url code 1 = text; vendor-option-space tr069; option tr069.acs-server-url “http://url/of/acs/server”<http://url/of/acs/server%E2%80%9D>; On the few modems we've tried, this works perfectly. And this value overrides the ACS URL that is preconfigured into the CPE. -dan On Wed, Apr 8, 2015 at 9:20 AM, Zaid Abdulla <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: On Tue, Apr 7, 2015, at 07:35 PM, Dan Morphis wrote: > I have a few questions about how other people are doing their CPE ACS implementation. > > Are you using a single VCI/VPI and doing the management over the public internet?

Are you doing split DNS? I'd recommend using a separate WAN connection for management when possible. As for using a domain name vs an IP, I prefer using IP because then you deal with one less point of failure (i.e. DNS). Though I don't have a strong opinion about that. > How are you assigning the ACS url to the CPE?

I personally haven't used the DHCP option because I try to minimize the number of client features I have to rely on for a smoother operation. Perhaps my opinion will change when TR-069 is more wide spread and client implementations improve.
