+1 for the ACM5004-G. Run these just on NextG with OpenVPN running
to a VPS offnet giving us out of band. Worth its weight in gold.<br>

<div>A tad on the pricey side is probably their only downside.</div>

<div>Includes a bracket which can be used to install in a rack
(2/3 of a rack unit) or attach to a wall, and an external
antenna connector so you can attach a higher gain external
antenna for areas with patchy or weak coverage (all of my
installations were cabinets in rural locations, so very
important.)</div>

<div>You can use an IP reachability rule to determine whether it
should route packets over the LAN interface or 3G interface. I
had mine setup to monitor reachability to a particular core
router IP, on the basis that if that became unreachable, theres
a failure preventing access to it over the LAN, so it should
route out over the WAN, so you then SSH to its WAN IP (helps if
you have a static) and youre in. IIRC it has a dyndns client,
but you'd want to double check that.</div>

<div>Worth a look IMO. Neat little boxes.</div>

<br>
I'm sure most of you have an OOB network, and I'm now
finding I have<br>
some clients where I now have the same need.<br>
<br>
So I'm looking for some solutions, I'm tending towards 3G
Broadband<br>
but am open to others; rough requirements<br>
<br>
- works with Windows, Mac OS *and* Linux (I can leave some
on the<br>
client site, and have them install into any available
computer to<br>
diagnose their internal network that way)<br>
- provides a static IP (v4 or v6 acceptable) address<br>
- at least 1G / month; with options to increase should a
'problem' occur.<br>
<br>
Slightly different use cases at different clients:<br>
<br>
- for some, it'll be used to monitor both internal /
external<br>
networks without perturbing them<br>
- for others, it'll be used as a means of last resort
remote access<br>
during an outage<br>
<br>
Unfortunately none of the clients are large enough to
warrant dual-homing.<br>
<br>
Replies welcome off-list and I'll summarise responses back
to the list<br>
in a few days.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Anand<br>
