Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a service provisioning method in a coaxial cable system, the method comprises: a CMC receives a DHCP Ack message from a DHCP server and replaces an address of a TFTP server in the DHCP Ack message with an IP address of the CMC; the CMC sends the DHCP Ack message carrying the IP address of the CMC to the CM; and the CMC receives a request message from the CM for delivering a configuration file, acquires a configuration file corresponding to the CM, and after converting the configuration file corresponding to the CM into a format identifiable by the CM, sends the configuration file to the CM.
Claims13
A service provisioning method in a coaxial cable system, wherein the Cable system comprises a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server, a coaxial media converter (CMC), and a cable modem (CM);
- the CMC connects to the DHCP server on a network side and connects to the CM on a user side;
- and the method comprises:
- receiving, by the CMC, a DHCP Ack message from the DHCP server and replacing an address of a Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server in the DHCP Ack message with an Internet Protocol (IP) address of the CMC;
- sending, by the CMC, the DHCP Ack message carrying the IP address of the CMC to the CM;
- and
- receiving, by the CMC from the CM, a request message for delivering a configuration file, acquiring the configuration file corresponding to the CM, and after converting the configuration file corresponding to the CM into a format identifiable by the CM, sending the configuration file to the CM.
A coaxial media converter (CMC), wherein the CMC connects to a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server on a network side and connects to a cable modem (CM) on a user side, and the CMC comprises:
- a first receiver, configured to receive a DHCP Ack message from the DHCP server, wherein the DHCP Ack message carries an address of a Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server;
- a first processor, configured to replace the address of the TFTP server in the DHCP Ack message with an IP address of the CMC;
- a first sender, configured to send the DHCP Ack message carrying the IP address of the CMC to the CM;
- a second receiver, configured to receive, from the CM, a request message for delivering a configuration file;
- and
- a second processor, configured to acquire the configuration file corresponding to the CM and after converting the configuration file corresponding to the CM into a format identifiable by the CM, send the configuration file to the CM by using a second sender.
A coaxial media converter (CMC), wherein the CMC connects to a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server on a network side and connects to a cable modem (CM) on a user side, and the CMC comprises:
- a network-side interface, configured to receive a DHCP Ack message from the DHCP server, wherein the DHCP Ack message carries an address of a Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server;
- an address processing unit, configured to replace the address of the TFTP server in the DHCP Ack message with an IP address of the CMC;
- a user-side interface, configured to send the DHCP Ack message carrying the IP address of the CMC to the CM and receive, from the CM, a request message for delivering a configuration file;
- and
- a configuration file processing unit, configured to acquire the configuration file corresponding to the CM and after converting the configuration file corresponding to the CM into a format identifiable by the CM, send the configuration file to the CM by using the user-side interface.
A coaxial cable system, wherein the Cable system comprises a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server, a coaxial media converter (CMC), and a cable modem (CM);
- and the CMC connects to the DHCP server on a network side and connects to the CM on a user side, wherein:
- the CMC is configured to receive a DHCP Ack message from the DHCP server and replace an address of a Trivial File Transfer Protocol server with an IP address of the CMC;
- send the DHCP Ack message carrying the IP address of the CMC to the CM;
- and receive, from the CM, a request message for delivering a configuration file, acquire the configuration file corresponding to the CM, and after converting the configuration file corresponding to the CM into a format identifiable by the CM, send the configuration file to the CM.
