4G lte Cellular configuration

Tracey Foster
Level 1
Level 1

Finally installed and configuring the 4G card on my 2911 router.  I am connecting with a Verizon SIM.  I have the below configuration, but an unable to connect.  Verizon has given us a static route of 166.143.163.112, but not the mask.....

Can someone tell me what is wrong or direct me in the correct direction so I can work my way through this????  Please!

I also included the cellular int output....

Thank you,

Tracey

I had to open a TAC.  Come to find out, my config is actually good.  Need to have an IOS upgrade for it too work.  IOS 15.1(4)M4 is needed for this card on a 2911.

As soon as I upgraded, I have green link lights all over the place.

I hope this helps someone else in the future.

Hello Tracey, great posting.  Quick question though, how did you change the APN of the default Profile?  This card comes from the factory with the APN set as: vzwinternet, but if you want a static IP you have to change it to the APN the Verizon supplied, which in your case is: ne01.VZWSTATIC...

Kevin,

That is a very good question.   I don't recall having to make that change, but that was 6 months ago and I haven't been working with this since.  Here's what I know.  The SIM came out of a 4G usb wireless point htat a co-worker had already arranged for a static IP address.  Getting the static was  a challenge in itself.  I took the SIM and put it in the card and installed the card.  Made sure the conenctions were make and the above configuration setting for the interface.  I am not sure if the SIM had that on it already so when the card read the SIM it was already set to this.

Like I said, we used this SIM on another device prior to router.  We had to use the verizon application that came with the 4G, and we may have set it there to begin with.

I am sure this didn't help you at all.  Unfortunately, I am unable to play around with it as the SIM is no longer available in a timely manner.

Good luck!

Tracey

Thanks for the reply.  To modify the Default Profile 1, you just "re-create" it and it will ask you twice to confirm overwriting the existing Profile.  Enter y twice and it is done!

cellular 0/3/0 lte profile create 1 mw01.vzwstatic
Profile 1 already exists. Do you want to overwrite? [confirm]y
Profile 1 will be overwritten with the following values:
PDP type = IPv4
APN = mw01.vzwstatic
Are you sure? [confirm]y
Profile 1 written to modem
