Best way to autoconfigure routers and resist reset to factory defaults

Wed Dec 16 17:14:58 EST 2015

Don,
  I'm not sure I understand this line: " but I see that there are a couple
other values in the cwmp request that I can use to validate with, and
update my database with, particularily the active WANPPPConnection."

Everything that comes with from the CPE to Genie ACS is sent out to the
notification URL in the POST body.
