A modem that includes a configuration domain name associated with a configuration
Broadband Service Node (BSN) is firstly provided. A PPPoE session is established,
and an authentication request is transmitted, containing the identifier and a generic
password, from the modem to a single configuration domain name over the PPPoE network.
Authorization is then received from the configuration domain name. The authorization
preferably comprises a temporary dynamic Internet Protocol (IP) address. Full configuration
details, including a static IP address, are then obtained from an Internet Service
Provider (ISP). The invention also provides a system and computer program product
for provisioning broadband service in a Point-to-Point Protocol Over Ethernet (PPPoE) network.
