<div>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.</div>

<div dir="ltr">We are going to use a separate management WAN, in private IP space, but one group of people want to do DNS names, while the other group wants IP. 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.

<div>As for DHCP option, I found a better way of doing this yesterday:</div>
<div><font face="monospace,monospace"># Define a custom option space for tr069 options<br>
option space tr069;<br>
option tr069.acs-server-url code 1 = text;<br>
vendor-option-space tr069;<br>
option tr069.acs-server-url “<a href="http://url/of/acs/server%E2%80%9D">http://url/of/acs/server”</a>;</font><br>
</div>
<div><font face="monospace,monospace"><br>

<div><font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif">On the few modems we've tried, this works perfectly. And this value overrides the ACS URL that is preconfigured into the CPE.</font></div>

</span>I'd recommend using a separate WAN connection for management when<br>
possible. As for using a domain name vs an IP, I prefer using IP because<br>
then you deal with one less point of failure (i.e. DNS). Though I don't<br>
have a strong opinion about that.<br>

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