Galileo Support on the LTE Pluggable Modules
With Cisco IOS XE 17.11.1a and earlier, the only GNSS constellation supported was GPS. This release introduces support for Galileo.
![]() Note |
Only ONE constellation can be enabled at a time. |
There are new CLI options available to support the new constellation:
Configuration Commands
config# controller cellular <slot/port>
(config-controller)# <no> lte gps constellation <gps | galileo | gnss >
Example:
(config-controller)#lte gps constellation ?
galileo select Galileo as active constellation
gps select GPS as active constellation
gnss select multiple GNSS as active constellation
![]() Note |
The default setting is gps mode. |
The new galileo and gnss options in the above CLI are used to configure Galileo and Multiple/Simultaneous GNSS (GPS + Galileo etc) respectively.
If you disable the GPS configuration, ensure there is no constellation configured, consistent with GPS mode configuration. For example:
config# controller Cellular 0/1/0
(config-controller)# no lte gps constellation gps
Show Commands
The following example shows the current GNSS constellation as Galileo:
#show cellular 0/1/0 gps detail
GPS Feature = enabled
GPS Mode Configured = standalone
Current Constellation Configured = galileo | gps | gnss
GPS Port Selected = Dedicated GPS port
GPS Status = GPS acquiring
Any changes made to the configuration will require the router to be rebooted.
More information is available in the Cellular Pluggable Interface Module Configuration Guide.
