We get static IP's to facilitate monitoring that the OOB remains online (easier
to hit a non-changing IP than getting false positives for outage between an IP
change and DDnS or whatever other type of update needs to happen), and it also
makes IPSec VPN easy if your roving sysadmins know what IP
Static IPs are useful for connecting to the "home" site. If our main office is
offline for some reason, it is nice to be able to quickly connect via cellular
OoB.
I agree that other solutions (dial-home, or private network) make sense for
satellite sites.

Lots of references to static IPs from cellular providers for OoB access in
this thread. Why? It seems like a dial-home scheme is an obvious solution
here, whether it's Opengear's Lighthouse product, openvpn, or whatever...
Do you all have a security directive that demands whitelisted IP addresses?
I've been pretty successful doing this with VZW as they were the only ones
that I was able to get a static ip from fairly easily. Talked to tmo and
sprint a few times and their people would say it was possible but could
never get it done for whatever reason. It works well as long as you have
good s
At the sites, are you installing external antennae's?

Ye
Yes. I use Opengear with great success. I use Verizon, T-Mobile & AT&T
prepaid service depending on the area. When integrated with Opengear
Lighthouse, the console server is fully manageable via cellular service.

How is
Going to depend entirely on the data center. I've got OpenGear boxes deployed
in a variety of places, using Verizon LTE with static IP. One Level 3 colo I'm
in I had to buy a high gain directional antenna to get the signal strength up
above -80, where below that you're lucky to get a reasonabl

We use the Oopengear ACM and IM series and they are great. My only current
issue is that Verizon does not allow for static IPv4 and IPv6 simultaneously.
You can have one or the other, but not both. *facepalm*
One major point of advice with the Opengear: make sure the firmware is up to
date. Th

Good call out — I didn’t put enough effort into searching previous
