1. An apparatus, comprising:
- one or more processors; and
a memory including instructions executable by the processors, the processors when executing the instructions operable to;
receive an input identifying provisioning parameters for a remote network device;
relay a provisioning request originating from the remote network device, the provisioning request relayed to a remote provisioning server;
receive a provisioning reply from the remote provisioning server, the provisioning reply including provisioning information identifying a first configuration file stored remotely with respect to the apparatus;
modify the provisioning information such that the modified provisioning information no longer identifies the first remotely stored configuration file and instead identifies a second different configuration file, the second different configuration file corresponding to the identified provisioning parameters; and
relay the provisioning reply having the modified provisioning information to the remote network device.

Abstract
In one embodiment, a router is configured to relay a provisioning request originating from a remote network device to a remote provisioning server. When the router receives back a provisioning response including provisioning information identifying a first remotely stored configuration file, the router is configured to modify the provisioning information such that the modified provisioning information no longer identifies the first remotely stored configuration file. The router then relays the provisioning reply, which may identify a second different configuration file, to the remote network device.

8. A Cable Modem Termination System (CMTS), comprising:
-
means for relaying a provisioning request sent from a cable modem, the provisioning request relayed to a provisioning server; means for receiving a reply from the provisioning server, the reply including provisioning information including both a filename and location corresponding to a first configuration file stored remotely from the CMTS; means for modifying the filename or location; and means for relaying the reply including the modified provisioning information to the cable modem. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11)

12. A method, comprising:
-
receiving an input identifying provisioning parameters for a network device; relaying a provisioning request originating from the network device, the provisioning request relayed to a provisioning server; receiving a provisioning reply from the provisioning server, the provisioning reply including provisioning information identifying a first configuration file stored on the provisioning server; modifying the provisioning information such that the modified provisioning information no longer identifies the first configuration file stored on the provisioning server and instead identifies a second different configuration file, the second different configuration file corresponding to the identified provisioning parameters; and relaying the provisioning reply having the modified provisioning information to the device. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
