+WirelessModem (WWAN)
+####################
+
+The wirelessmodem interface provides access (through a wireless modem/wwan)
+to wireless networks provided by various cellular providers. VyOS uses the
+interfaces wirelessmodem subsystem for configuration.
+
+*************
+Configuration
+*************
+
+Common interface configuration
+==============================
+
+.. cmdinclude:: /_include/interface-description.txt
+ :var0: wirelessmodem
+ :var1: wlm0
+
+.. cmdinclude:: /_include/interface-disable.txt
+ :var0: wirelessmodem
+ :var1: wlm0
+
+.. cmdinclude:: /_include/interface-vrf.txt
+ :var0: wirelessmodem
+ :var1: wlm0
+
+WirelessModem (WWAN) options
+============================
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces wirelessmodem <interface> apn <apn>
+
+ Every WWAN connection requires an :abbr:`APN (Access Point Name)` which is
+ used by the client to dial into the ISPs network. This is a mandatory
+ parameter. Contact your Service Provider for correct APN.
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces wirelessmodem <interface> backup distance <metric>
+
+ Configure metric of the default route added via the Wireless Modem interface.
+ The default metric if not specified is 10.
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces wirelessmodem <interface> device <tty>
+
+ Device identifier of the underlaying physical interface. This is usually a
+ ttyUSB device, if not configured this defaults to ttyUSB2.
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces wirelessmodem <interface> no-peer-dns
+
+ Do not install DNS nameservers received from ISP into system wide nameserver
+ list.
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces wirelessmodem <interface> connect-on-demand
+
+ When set the interface is enabled for "dial-on-demand".
+
+ Use this command to instruct the system to establish a PPP connection
+ automatically once traffic passes through the interface. A disabled on-demand
+ connection is established at boot time and remains up. If the link fails for
+ any reason, the link is brought back up immediately.
+
+*********
+Operation

+
+.. opcmd:: show interfaces wirelessmodem <interface>
+
+ Retrive interface information from given WWAN interface.

+Example
+*******
+
+The following example is based on a Sierra Wireless MC7710 miniPCIe card (only
+the form factor in reality it runs UBS) and Deutsche Telekom as ISP. The card
+is assembled into a :ref:`pc-engines-apu4`.
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ set interfaces wirelessmodem wlm0 apn 'internet.telekom'
+ set interfaces wirelessmodem wlm0 backup distance '100'
+ set interfaces wirelessmodem wlm0 device 'ttyUSB2'
+ set interfaces wirelessmodem wlm0 disable
+ set interfaces wirelessmodem wlm0 no-peer-dns
