Abstract
A method, device, and computer-readable medium are provided to send, by a first consumer-premises equipment (CPE) device to a second CPE device in a local area network (LAN), a first request for an IP address, wherein the first request is a first signaling message that includes a first protocol configuration option (PCO) providing first network-centric information for the first CPE device; receive, from the second CPE device, an acknowledgement to the first request, wherein the acknowledgment is a second signaling message that includes the IP address and a second PCO providing second network-centric information for the second CPE device; connect, via the second CPE device, to a bootstrap server device via a radio access network (RAN); receive, via the second CPE device, attachment information associated with a network management server; and send, via the second CPE device, the second network-centric information to the network management server in a first attach.
