[AusNOG] OOB over LTE in Data Centres

[James Loh]

Don't do DC work anymore but when I did we did the same as Jaden. Opengears with LTE interfaces.

Sometimes we ran into issues where ICMP would be blocked so monitoring the OOB network was "online" was difficult, otherwise it worked great.

Cheers,
James
