configuration files, restore the configuration, and realize other features.
9.2.1 CWMP Network Application Scenario
Application Scenario
The major components of a CWMP network architecture are CPEs, an ACS, a management center, a DHCP server, and a
Domain Name System (DNS) server. The management center manages a population of CPEs by controlling the ACS on a
Web browser.
Figure 9-1
 If the Uniform Resource Locator (URL) of the ACS is configured on CPEs, the DHCP server is optional. If
not, the DHCP is required to dynamically discover the ACS URL.
 If the URLs of the ACS and CPEs contain IP addresses only, the DNS server is optional. If their URLs
contain domain names, the DNS server is required to resolves the names.
Functional Deployment
HTTP runs on both CPEs and the ACS.
