Re: Who is pqwest1.qwest.motive.com? Logging onto my router!

It's nothing that wasn't happening before, Qwest is just upgrading their ACS (TR-69) server and that's just the new server. Before, you would have been seeing these same things coming from »https://cwmp.cms.acs.qwest.com instead. If you telnet in, and do a show config command, you will see set dslf-cpewan acs-url "http://pqwesthdm.qwest.motive.com/cwmpWeb/CPEMgt" if you have been migrated to the new ACS and something like set dslf-cpewan acs-url "https://cwmp.cms.acs.qwest.com" if you are still on the old ACS.

ewth8tr, thanks for the explanation. I found the configuration items you noted:


And sure enough, a configuration dump I made in February shows the old server:


Interesting that the username and password are stored CLEAR TEXT in the config file. Accessing the referenced URL with the supplied credentials results in a page showing:


The IP of the configured server (64.186.176.128) doesn't match any of the IPs that accessed my router, so there are evidently a number of systems in play here for inbound updates and outbound checks.

Thanks for the pointer...off to do some more Googling to see what else is happening ;-)
