=3G Fallback= |
|||
The 2700 model has a usb port that can be used with a 3G dongle for connectivity and/or fallback. |
|||
=Basic 3G Config= |
|||
If you have an AA data SIM, the FireBrick can configured to use this as a backup connection, by using a 3G dongle plugged into the USB port. Any routed legacy IP blocks will continue to work across this link, but so far IPv6 isn't supported (without using a tunnel). The FireBrick is known to support the ZTE MF112 Dongle and some Huawei dongles. Others may work too. |
|||
The basic config is: |
|||
<syntaxhighlight> |
|||
<usb> |
|||
<dongle username="startup_user@startup_domain" password=""/> |
|||
</usb> |
|||
</syntaxhighlight> |
|||
Provided you use your AA username and password, then that's all you need to get the dongle configured. If your main broadband connection goes down, the FireBrick will automatically switch to use the 3G connection, then back again once your main connection is back. |
|||
= Config with Tunnelled IPv6 Fallback= |
|||
If using AAISP, then the options for IPv6 routing on the control pages allow an IPv6 block to be routed to a tunnel endpoint if the main routing (ie ADSL/FTTC) goes down. - This means IPv6 can be routed to the 3G dongle if the main broadband(s) go down. The MTU will be limited though. |
|||
Here we have some profiles to manage the 3G |
|||
<syntaxhighlight> |
|||
<usb log="true" profile="No_PPPoE"> |
|||
<dongle name="3G" username="me@a.3" password="secret" nat="false" graph="Backup" comment="AAISP data SIM"/> |
|||
</usb> |
|||
<route name="6in4" profile="No_DSL" graph="6in4" ip="::/0" gateway="81.187.81.6" comment="IPv6 Default route when AAISP DSL is down" /> |
|||
<profile name="DSL" ppp="AAISP" comment="Monitoring the PPP link named AAISP"/> |
|||
<profile name="No_DSL" timeout="PT5S" recover="PT1S" not="DSL"/ comment="Just the not of the previous profile"> |
