Introduction

Due to their ubiquitous presence, the use of third-generation (3G) wireless networks has become a common deployment option for both primary and backup connectivity. With the introduction of Juniper Networks ^® CX111 Cellular Broadband Data Bridge, Juniper offers a simple way to provide wireless connectivity as either a backup or primary connection for Juniper Networks J Series Services Routers and branch SRX Series Services Gateways products.

Scope

The purpose of this application note is to provide an overview that shows how to configure and deploy the CX111 as a primary or backup 3G WAN connectivity option for Juniper Networks SRX Series and J Series platforms.

Design Considerations

Supported Hardware

  • Juniper Networks SRX Series Services Gateways (SRX100 Services Gateway, the SRX200 line, or SRX650 Services Gateway)
    • Juniper Networks J Series Services Routers

Software Requirements

• Juniper Networks Junos OS release 10.1R1 or later

- There is a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) memory leak issue with earlier Junos OS versions when configured with the CX111

- CX111 firmware 1.6.10 or later

Card Compatibility

As of the date of this writing, about 50 different USB and ExpressCard modems have been certified to work with the CX111. The latest list of modems can be found here: www.juniper.net/techpubs/hardware/junos-cx/cx111/index.html.

Card Activation

Before cards can be used, they need to be programmed with the subscriber information required to access the service provider's network. This is normally referred to as the card activation process. When service is purchased, the carrier will request the card's ESN number, normally found printed on the wireless card. This number is then used for card identification by the different activation protocols.

Cards directly purchased from the wireless carrier can ship pre-activated, or sometimes they will ship with a companion software used to perform the initial activation. In either case, cards already activated do not have to be reactivated.

Optionally, the cards can be activated from the CX111. This requires users to log into the CX111's UI using a Web browser.

Description and Deployment Scenario

The CX111 ships with a default configuration that should accommodate most deployment scenarios. The deployment model assumes that the CX111 is connected to a DHCP-enabled interface.

Figure 1: Deployment model

The CX111 will maintain the wireless modem (or modems, if more than one modem is used) in a disconnected state, triggering a new connection as soon as the SRX Series/J Series requests a new lease. The modem(s) will be disconnected as soon as the lease expires, and only reconnected when that gateway requires another new lease.

When using the 3G link as the primary connection, long lease times can be used, as generally there won't be a need to constantly connect and disconnect the line. On the other hand, if the CX111 is used to provide a backup connection, short lease times (in the order of a minute) are commonly used so that, when the primary link is active, the backup link can be disabled, triggering a disconnection, in the worse case, after a lease time.

The CX111 assigns the address received from the wireless service provider to the gateway (normally a public address). For obvious reasons, only a single device can be connected to the CX111 at any given time, or else multiple devices will contend for the only address passed to the CX111. The CX111 works in "pass through" mode, simply relaying all traffic from the wireless network to the DHCP client.

Management Interface

The CX111 provides a web-based management interface, and it can be accessed even when 3G modems are not used. Since “pass through” mode is used instead of a routed connection bridge that doesn’t do Network Address Translation (NAT), the management interface cannot be accessed through the normal data channel.

The management interface is still accessible through the Ethernet port, but VLAN tagging is used to separate management from data traffic using the following parameters

Table 1: Management Network

CARD MODEL WIRELESS TECHNOLOGY
Management subnet 192.168.0.0/24
Management address 192.168.0.1
VLAN ID 3900

Power over Ethernet

When available, Power over Ethernet (PoE) can be used to power the CX111. In the event that the CX111 is connected through a switch or a gateway that does not support PoE, an external power supply can be used (provided with the basic install kit).

When PoE is used, the device will require about 3.5 watts of power per modem connected, so plan your power budget accordingly.

Dial Modes

The CX111 can be configured in two modes: "always on" or "dial on-demand." In the "always on" mode, the CX111 connects to the 3G network after booting. The connection is always maintained, as long as there are no network or connectivity problems.

In "dial on-demand" mode, the CX111 only initiates a connection when it receives traffic from the interface connecting the CX111 and gateway. In particular, DHCP request messages will trigger a connection. Similarly, the connection will be dropped after a configurable inactivity timeout.

Regardless of the mode, the CX111 can accept multiple cards simultaneously. In the event of a failure or inability to connect, the remaining card(s) will be used. The connection priority is user configurable through the CX111's management interface.

The default mode at shipping is 'dial on-demand' and set at 20 minutes idle timeout. Most carriers prefer the modem to disconnect if there is no interesting traffic. After the modem times out, the DHCP requests from the SRX Series device will result in a 192.168.30.x/24 response from the CX111. If interesting traffic is observed by the CX111, the modem re-dials. Modem connection takes about 15 to 20 seconds generally. After that, the next DHCP request from the SRX Series device will fetch the actual 3G IP address and internet connection is re-established.

Deployment Scenarios

In the following section, we will discuss several common deployment scenarios and provide the associated configurations.

CX111 Used for Primary Connectivity

This first scenario shows the gateway configuration when the 3G network is used as the primary WAN link. This can be achieved by simply connecting the CX111 to any interface in the untrust zone. On the SRX Series device, this is ge-0/0/0 when using the default configuration.

set vlans vlan-trust 13-interface vlan.0 

Enabling PoE

On SRX Series devices, it is possible to use PoE to power the CX111. The default configuration has PoE enabled on every PoE-capable interface, so users only have to connect the CX111 to a PoE-capable port. Enabling PoE only requires the addition of the following configuration.

/* The priority is optional but it will make sure that, if two many devices are being powered, the bridge will be given a high priority and will not be powered off */ set poe interface ge-0/0/0 priority high

Management Access

A VLAN-tagged logical interface can be used to provide access to the CX111's management console. NAT can also be used to facilitate access from any device behind the gateway, eliminating the need for complex routing (as all traffic to the CX111's management interface will be translated as if it originated from the management subnet).

CX111 Used for Backup

In this example, the CX111 will only be used when the primary interface is down. This is shown mostly for illustrative purposes, as only a failure in the primary interface will trigger a failover.

Also, this example can only be used with the CX111 operating in "always on" mode, as once connected, the DHCP requests from the SRX Series will keep the connection up. (Increasing the lease times is not a good idea, since there are no guarantees that, after a new connection, the modem will be assigned the same IP. Thus, this situation requires short lease times to make sure that the gateway is notified of the address change).

Detecting Network Failures Using RPM Probes

Although quite simple, our previous example presents a major drawback—the primary interface's status is not always a good indicator of the network's connectivity. In some instances, when layer 2 protocols are not able to detect end-to-end failures, or when multiple network hops separate the Juniper Networks SRX210 Services Gateway from remote resources, other means to trigger a failover are desired.

This example shows how to configure a set of watch prefixes which, when they are not present in the routing table, will enable the dialer interface. Static routes with Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) monitoring or routing protocols can be used to dynamically change the status of the routes in the routing table.

The main advantage of this approach is that real-time performance monitoring (RPM) probes do not require any special routing protocol support or the use of BFD. RPM probes can be configured to use standard Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) messages, HTTP get requests, or TCP/UDP pings to verify end-to-end connectivity. The RPM monitor scripts can be downloaded from the following URL: www.juniper.net/support/products/cx/#sw

When using the RPM monitor scripts, it is quite useful to look at the script logs. These logs record events such as probe failures, enabling/disabling of the backup interface, etc. Using the configuration shown in the last example, the logs can be viewed with the "show log rpm-monitor" command.

# run show log rpm-monitor

Jan 22 05:15:48 SRX210-Home cscript: rpm-monitor: Triggered by ping_test_up test server1 owner rpm-monitor-probes

Jan 22 05:15:48 SRX210-Home cscript: rpm-monitor: RPM probe up flagged, but there is nothing to do with the logical interfaces

Jan 22 05:16:59 SRX210-Home cscript: rpm-monitor: Triggered by ping_test_up test server1 owner rpm-monitor-probes

Jan 22 05:16:59 SRX210-Home cscript: rpm-monitor: RPM probe up flagged, but there is nothing to do with the routes

The result of the RPM probes can be viewed with the following command:

pato@SRX210-Home# run show services rpm history-results
