ISR Redundancy Guide for Verizon Wireless DMNR and 4G LTE
4.
To connect a Network Mobility (NEMO) session to the Verizon Wireless Enterprise GateWay (EXGW), the
enterprise MPN must be provisioned for 4G, and the subscriber mobile line (subscriber identity module [SIM])
used by the mobile router enhanced high-speed WAN interface card (eHWIC, NIM or GRWIC or embedded in an
819 or 899) must have NEMO permission provisioned by Verizon Wireless.
The enterprise Access Point Name (APN) must be correctly provisioned in the Verizon Wireless network in order
to make a successful private network connection. In addition, the APN must be appropriately set on the modem
for LTE and eHRPD profiles, either automatically through Over-The-Air Device Management (OTA-DM) or locally
on the ISR. If OTA-DM does not update the APN, it can be set manually on the ISR. The method of manually
setting the APN is via a single enable-mode IOS command. An example is shown below:

ne01.VZWSTATIC
(Note that the Data APN is profile 3). The middle “
0
” can be 0, 1, 2 or 3 depending on which ISR slot the LTE
module is installed. For 819 and 899, use “cellular 0”. The value “
ne01.VZWSTATIC
” is a sample APN. The
appropriate APN must be provided by Verizon Wireless.
5.
To connect a NEMO session to the EXGW, the mobile router must be configured with the correct Security
Parameter Index (SPI) and key. For the current release of DMNR, the correct values are provided in this guide.
6.
To connect a NEMO session to the EXGW, the mobile router must be configured with the correct IP address of
the NEMO High Availability (NEMO-HA) service. The address depends on the location of the EXGW. For the
appropriate address, please contact your Verizon representative.
7.
At least one ISR interface must be registered by the mobile router when the NEMO call is made to the EXGW.
The interface must be in UP/UP state (loopback interface is recommended).
8.
Directly connected and non-connected mobile network prefixes may be configured for registration by the mobile
router. The mobile networks are registered by specifying the connected interface name or by using the “non-
connected-network” command. If non-connected subnets are required, please refer to the guide “DMNR with
Secondary IP and Nonconnected Subnets” available here: www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/interfaces
modules/high-speed-wan-interface-cards/products-installation-and-configuration-guides-list.html
9.
It is not recommended to configure secondary IP addresses on the interfaces that are registered by the mobile
router unless it is intended by design. In Cisco IOS Software a secondary IP address is listed first under the
interface configuration, and its subnet will be the only one that is inserted into the NEMO prefix list from that
interface. If secondary IP addresses are required, please refer to configuration guide “DMNR with Secondary IP
and Nonconnected Subnets” mentioned above.
10. The EXGW will accept up to 8 subnets in the NEMO registration prefix list. Subnets in excess of 8 will be silently
ignored. Registering a summary address using “non-connected-network” stated above may assist.
11. After a successful NEMO registration, the mobile router will automatically bring up a generic-routing-encapsulation
(GRE) tunnel interface (Tunnel0) and will install a dynamic Mobile Default route to that interface.
12. Ensure that no static routes pointing to interface Cellular 0/x/0 (Cellular 0 for 819 or 899) exist in the mobile router
configuration.
13. The dynamic Tunnel0 interface will have the IP maximum transmission unit (MTU) of 1476 bytes. IP packets
whose lengths exceed 1440 bytes will require fragmentation. For TCP traffic the ip tcp adjust-mss command
may be used as shown in this guide to avoid fragmentation. If the mobile router needs to handle large non-TCP
packets that have the Don’t Fragment (DF) bit set, a route-map that clears the DF bit should be applied to the LAN
interface of the mobile router.
14. Ensure that the ip virtual-reassembly command is not present on interface Cellular 0/x/0.
