Profile 1 in inactive state in interface cellular 0 of router 887vag

I use the cellular interface 0 as a backup for my vpn. In the scenario in which I lose my primary link I need to redirect traffic through cellular 0.

Currently, profile 1 is in inactive state. I want to know if thats because it is not being used at the moment and if it will change to active state once the primary link goes down. Right now, we can not schedule a maintenance window to test the failure scenario since we are in holidays freeze.

Thanks for all your help
Kind regards

Hello,

 

it is inactive because it is not being used. That said, testing is obviously necessary. The config looks ok as far as I can tell.

Also, I would implement the EEM script below to clear the NAT translations in case of failover:

 

event manager applet CLEAR_NAT_PRIMARY_DOWN
event track 10 state down
action 1.0 cli command "enable"
action 1.1 cli command "clear ip nat translation forced"

 

event manager applet CLEAR_NAT_PRIMARY_UP
event track 10 state up
action 1.0 cli command "enable"
action 1.1 cli command "clear ip nat translation forced"

Thanks for the support

We did tests and apparently the problem was that in the place where it was located there was no 4G LTE and we had to force it to connect to a GSM network.

This solved the problem and the profile changed to active status

@Fernando.Martinez111 

Hi, could you please provide the config, how to force cellular interface to use GSM, 3G or 4G ?

I dont remember the config exactly, but i used this link and this event config:

 

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/routers/access/interfaces/software/feature/guide/ehwic-4g-ltesw-book.html

 

event manager applet RouterReload
event syslog pattern "%LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface Cellular0, changed state to up" period 120
action .5 cli command "enable"
action 1.0 cli command "cellular 0 lte plmn select manual 334 20 gsm power-cycle"

Cisco 899G-LTE only has LTE and UMTS

What do you mean it's not being used? Obviously SIM is inserted and working. The profile remains inactive and will not kick in when the primary link goes off.
