# Cisco 2G/3G/4G wireless connection
This package contains the two plugins. The check plugin **_cisco_cellular_lte_** and the inventory plugin **_inv_cisco_cellular_lte_**.
cisco_cellular_lte
This check plugin will monitor 2G/3G/4G wireless modems and there associated connections. By default it will only discover cellular modems with a SIM card/connectin attached. It was tested with the integrated modem of the Cisco ISR1100 series routers and the with a NIM in a Cisco ISR4451. Each modem can have up to two connections at the same time (over one SIM-card). The integrated modems and also newer NIM modules have dual SIM-card capabilities. Dual SIM-Cards can be usesd in a redundancy failover manner. Only one SIM-Card will be active at any given time.
In the service summary the plugin will show
- the connection status
- the values for RSSI, RSRP and RSRQ
- the Bandwith used in/out
- the wireless band used
and in the deails
- the associated IP-Addresses (IPv4 and IPv6)
- the roaming state
- the current channel
- the network code
- the service typoe
- the provider time
- modem state and status
- the APN
- the configured and the current APN type
inv_cisco_cellular_lte
This inventory plugin adds under _Networking_ -> _Cellular (LTE)_:
- IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identifier)
- IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identifier)
- ICCID (Integrated Circuit Card ID)
- MSISDN (Mobile Subscriber Integrated Services Digital Network Number)
- FSN (Factory Serial Number)
- Network code
- Country
- APN (Access Point Nam)
- Service type
- current band
With the inventory view _Search Cellular (LTE)_ you can filter and report on this data for all your hosts.
