Sorry for this stupid questions, but I don’t get it. Where do I have to enter “InternetGatewayDevice.LANDevice.1.LANEthernetInterfaceConfig.1.Status” to get this information? I promise, when I am ready I will do a how to for beginners. ---

Are you wanting to read or write the value? Because [InternetGatewayDevice.LANDevice.{i}.LANEthernetInterfaceConfig.{i}.Status](https://cwmp-data-models.broadband-forum.org/tr-069-1-0-0.html#D.InternetGatewayDevice:1.InternetGatewayDevice.LANDevice.%7Bi%7D.LANEthernetInterfaceConfig.%7Bi%7D.Status) is not writable, per the specification. ---

And how are you wanting to consume this information? In your own app? In the GenieACS GUI? To pull the data into your own app [you will need to use the API](https://docs.genieacs.com/en/latest/api-reference.html). ---

First, you don’t want the values to update every minute. This puts a lot of load on both the CPE and the ACS. Second, [refreshing values is covered in the documentation](http://docs.genieacs.com/en/latest/provisions.html). You should probably familiarize yourself with the documentation. ---

It’s the only way on this device to get status if port is connected or not. Via SNMP I can get 5 status codes, no one is showing a connection or not. When I only ask the API to get status from this Port, it is also to heavy? ---

One request in and of itself isn’t heavy. But you have to consider what your other provision scripts are doing. Each 6 CONNECTION REQUEST will cause GenieACS to run through all the applicable provision scripts. This in and of itself isn’t that heavy given all the caching and optimization in GenieACS. But when you have thousands of CPEs this will contribute to significant load on your ACS. ---

Is there a way to send the request directly to the cpe? I think so, but I cant get the way how. I only know [http://vigor:vigor@192.168.2.1:8069/cwm/CRN.html](http://vigor:vigor@192.168.2.1:8069/cwm/CRN.html).
