Planning Guide: Verizon Internet Access with VPN
for Cisco LTE eHWIC/GRWIC/819
for Cisco LTE eHWIC/GRWIC/819
Overview
Verizon Wireless offers four 3G/4G data services for enterprises to connect remote sites through Verizon Wireless
Long Term Evolution (LTE):
●
Machine-to-Machine (M2M) price plan with Internet access and dynamic IP: This service enables a router to
connect users or devices to the Internet or an enterprise network (through a customer premises equipment
(CPE)-based VPN such as IP Security [IPsec], generic routing encapsulation [GRE], Dynamic Multipoint
VPN [DMVPN], etc.).
●
M2M price plan with Internet access and static IP: This service offers the same services as the previous
one, except the 3G or 4G interface of each router receives a consistent predetermined 3G or 4G IP
address.
●
Mobile Private Network (MPN): This service enables a router to connect to an enterprise network. It requires
a customer premises-based VPN or Network Address Translation (NAT) for users behind the remote router
to access the network.
●
Mobile Private Network (MPN) with Dynamic Mobile Network Routing (DMNR): This service enables a
router to connect users to an enterprise private network without the need for a customer premises-based
VPN. Traffic does not traverse the Internet. Dynamic routing allows changing of local and remote IP
addresses without coordination with Verizon. It can be used with any Cisco VPN option, including Group
Encrypted Transport VPN.
This planning guide outlines the process to plan for Verizon Internet LTE service with customer premises-
based VPN (GRE, IPsec, IPsec with GRE, DMVPN, etc.). Relevant documents are also referenced.
1.
No special service is needed outside of an approved pricing plan for Internet access. However, the LTE
enhanced high-speed WAN interface card eHWIC must be used with a Cisco
®
Integrated Services Routers
Generation 2 (ISR G2) router (Cisco 1900, 2900, or 3900 Series Integrated Services Router) whether provided
by the Verizon demonstration loan program or by your organization. For the CGR-2010 the LTE GRWIC is
required. For the C819G-4G-V, the LTE interface is integrated.
2.
This deployment guide is also applicable to Verizon Mobile Private Network without Verizon DMNR service for
private network access; however public Internet access would be dependent on the private network.
3.
Ensure you have a subscriber identity module (SIM/USIM/Mini-SIM, Verizon SKU "DIRECTSIM4G-D") for the
LTE eHWIC/GRWIC/819 with an approved pricing plan. Your Verizon account manager is the appropriate
contact for obtaining a SIM.
a. The SIM must be provisioned and associated with international mobility equipment identity (IMEI) of the LTE
eHWIC/GRWIC/819 modem before activation on an approved plan.
i. If this ISR is a demonstration unit provided by Verizon Wireless, an appropriately provisioned SIM should
be included as part of the package sent to you.
