It is determined that a customer premises equipment (CPE) that provides data access to a local area network has been dynamically provisioned with a differentiated feature that is different from default features identified in a boot configuration from which the CPE obtains features during a boot phase of the CPE. A first CPE identifier of the CPE is determined and stored in a memory. Subsequent to storing the first CPE identifier in the memory, information that contains a second CPE identifier and that indicates that a CPE identified by the second CPE identifier has initiated a boot phase is received. It is determined that the second CPE identifier matches the first CPE identifier. Subsequent to the CPE initiating the boot phase, the CPE is caused to be dynamically provisioned with the differentiated feature.

Automatic re-provisioning of dynamically provisioned differentiated features in a customer premises equipment (CPE)

It is determined that a first customer premises equipment (CPE) that provides external network access to a first local area network and that is communicatively coupled to a first aggregation device is to be dynamically provisioned with a first differentiated feature that is different from default features identified in a first boot configuration from which the first CPE obtains features during a boot phase of the first CPE. A first aggregation driver process that corresponds to the first aggregation device is identified. A request to implement the first differentiated feature on the first aggregation device is sent to the first aggregation driver process.
