Cisco 3G GSM + GRE Config

• Cisco/Gsm3G/Old2012 Older config with dialer, dialer not needed

• Need to add IPSec see http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios-xml/ios/sec_conn_ike2vpn/configuration/15-2mt/sec-flex-spoke.html

• Cisco 3G cellular modem reset / power-cycle

  •  #test cellular 0/3/0 modem-power-cycle 

• Cisco 3G cellular - Firmware - NOT included with IOS on HWIC module download seperate extract .tar to flash

  •   microcode reload cellular pa-bay slot gsm modem-provision  

• 3G Cisco router config
  • Details:
    • 2 - WWW GW IP's with gre tunnels
    • Example: Use subnet 10.202.191.x and 10.202.192.x for tunnel termination. .1 IS HQ GW

Comments

• Feel free to leave comments or corrections.
• 2013-01-21 Pieter Smit - chicken egg problem where tunnel down because no source IP on cellular, and cellular down due to no interesting traffic.
  • Two solutions possible, [1.] Fix ip on cellular (works for private apn with fixed ip's) or [2.] ip sla to ping static route to force cellular0/3/0 up.
• 2012-10-20 Pieter Smit - Create page.
