#REDIRECT [[:Category:FireBrick_USB_Dongles]] [[File:2700-small.png\|link=:Category:FireBrick]] [[File:~~Zoom4598~~Zoom_Dongle_Small.~~jpg~~png]] =3G Fallback= ==A Note on Bonding 3G SIMs== Multiple USB ~~Dongles~~dongles can used via a USB hub - however the benefits of bonding multiple 3G are small, as you'll typically be contending with yourself and so there will be little or no added bandwidth. Using multiple dongles with SIMs from different providers may provide extra resilience in the case of one having a problem. =Basic Config= If you have an AAISP data SIM, the FireBrick can be configured to use this as a backup connection, by using a 3G dongle plugged into the USB port. Any routed legacy IPv4 blocks will continue to work across this link, but so far IPv6 isn't supported (without using a tunnel). The example below is all you need to get the dongle configured ~~and up~~. 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. <syntaxhighlight> <syntaxhighlight> <interface name="LAN" port="LAN" ra-client="false"> <subnet ip="2001:8b0::1/64 10.0.0.1/24 ~~2001:8b0::1/64~~" ra="true" ra-mtu="1480" ra-dns="2001:8b0::2020 2001:8b0::2021"/> </interface> </syntaxhighlight> <syntaxhighlight> <interface name="LAN" port="LAN" ra-client="false"> <subnet ip="2001:8b0::1/64 10.0.0.1/24 ~~2001:8b0::1/64~~" ra="true" ra-mtu="1472" ra-dns="2001:8b0::2020 2001:8b0::2021"/> </interface> </syntaxhighlight> =Telnet Commands= ~~Will reset~~Reset the USB controller and re-detect everything from scratch: <pre>clear usb</pre> Show dongle information: ~~To show info:~~ <pre>show dongle</pre> [[Category:3GData ~~Router~~SIM Devices]]▼ ~~You can turn on debug logging to get more info, there will be lots of info coming out:~~ ~~<pre>set command log level debug</pre>~~ ~~[[Category:FireBrick]]~~ ~~[[Category:Mobile]]~~ ~~[[Category:3G]]~~ ▲[[Category:3G Router]]
