Configuring Cwmp; Cwmp Network Framework - HP 5820X Switch Configuration Manual

Configuring CWMP

The CWMP is initiated and developed by the DSL Forum. CWMP is numbered TR-069 by the forum, and
is thus also called the TR-069 protocol.
CWMP is designed to be applied to DSL access networks, which are hard to manage because devices
are located at the customer premise, dispersed, and large in number. CWMP makes the management
easier by using an ACS to perform remote centralized management of CPE.
A large-sale data center network has similar network environment as a DSL access network, so you can
use CWMP to remotely configure, manage, and maintain the switches in batches in the data center
network.
The HP 5800 and 5820X switches support the CWMP protocol. When starting up for the first time to
access the network, an HP 5800 and 5820X switch functions as a CPE and automatically downloads the
configuration file from the ACS. Compared with traditional manual configuration, remote and unified
configuration by using CWMP offers the following benefits:
Deployment of unified configuration to switches providing the same services. This reduces workloads
•
and improves configuration deployment efficiency.
Auto-configuration of access switches. This enables the switches to access the network after startup
•
without the need of manual configuration and reduces costs.
• Pre-generation of the configuration file. This reduces the error probability of manual configuration.

NOTE:
In a real network, the DHCP server, ACS, and DNS server can locate on the same server as three
logical components.
