7. Use the NAT Direction field to specify the NAT direction used with the access point’s WAN card.
Options include Inside, Outside or None. The default is None.
Configure the Inbound IP Firewall Rules. Use the drop-down menu to select a firewall (set of IP
access connection rules) to apply to the PPPoE client connection. If a firewall rule does not exist
suiting the data protection needs of the PPPoE client connection, select the Create icon to define a
new rule configuration or the Edit icon to modify an existing rule.
Select the VPN Crypto Map to use with this WWAN configuration. Use the drop-down menu to apply
an existing crypto map configuration to this WWAN interface.
Use the WWW Default Route Priority spinner to set a default route priority for this interface. The
default value is 3000.
8. Select OK to save the changes to the Advanced Settings screen. Select Reset to revert to the
last saved configuration.
WAN Backhaul Deployment Considerations
Before defining a profile’s WAN Backhaul configuration refer to the following deployment guidelines
to ensure these configuration are optimally effective:
•
If the WAN card does not connect after a few minutes after a no shutdown, check the access
point’s syslog for a detected ttyUSB0 No such file event. If this event has occurred, linux didn’t
detect the card. Re-seat the card.
•
If the WAN card has difficulty connecting to an ISP (syslog shows that it retries LCP ConfReq for
a long time), ensure the SIM card is still valid and is plugged in correctly.
•
If a modem doesn’t responding with an OK during the dialing sequence, the WAN card is in an
unknown state and will not accept a command. Re-seat the card and begin the dialup
sequence again until the card is recognized.
•
If encountering a panic when conducting a hotplug, power off the access point for one minute.
The access point could continue to panic or detect the descriptor of the last utilized WAN card.
Thus, it's a good idea to clear the panic state by temporarily disconnecting then re-applying
access point power.
•
If wanting to unplug the WAN card, ensure sure you shutdown first, as the probability of getting
a panic is reduced. With the new high-speed WAN cards currently being utilized, the chances of
getting a panic significantly increase.
PPPoE Configuration
Profile Interface Configuration
PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) is a data-link protocol for dialup connections. PPPoE allows the access
point to use a broadband modem (DSL, cable modem, etc.) for access to high-speed data and
broadband networks. Most DSL providers are currently supporting (or deploying) the PPPoE
protocol. PPPoE uses standard encryption, authentication, and compression methods as specified
by the PPPoE protocol. PPPoE enables Mobility supported controllers and access points to
establish a point-to-point connection to an ISP over existing Ethernet interface.
