CWMP network framework
Figure 69 shows a basic CWMP network framework. The DHCP server, ACS, and DNS server can also be located on the same server.
Figure 69: CWMP network framework
The basic CWMP network elements include:
ACS—Autoconfiguration server, the management device in the network. In this document, ACS refers to a server installed with the HPE IMC BIMS system.
CPE—Customer premises equipment, the managed device in the network.
DNS server—Domain name system server. An ACS and a CPE use URLs to identify and access each other. DNS is used to resolve the URLs.
DHCP server—Assigns IP addresses to CPEs, and uses the options filed in the DHCP packet to provide configuration parameters (such as URL) to the CPEs.
