Managing router over Cellular interface

Hi,

Just wondering if there is a way to manage a router via it's cellular interface without having to have a static route pointing to the my source WAN address via the cellular interface

Ex. My wan IP - 1.1.1.1 Static route - IP route 1.1.1.1 255.255.255.255 cellular 0/1/0

More info: I have a default route routing traffic out of the gigabit Ethernet interface, this interface is behind a firewall(not managed by us) so it has a private IP, meaning we can't manage it via this address - this is why we have the cellular interface, so we can remotely manage the device - i can only connect to the router via the cellular interface though if i have a static route(like the one above), the issue is that we have a pool of wan IP addresses so the same IP won't necessarily be used Everytime, I'm trying to avoid putting into 20+ static routes for our wan ip's in the config.

The current routing config looks something like this ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 <default gateway of lan> track 1 ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 Cellular 0/1/0 20

Just wondering if there was another way to achieve this - is there a way to have the cellular interface up and allowing traffic through as if there was a psuedo default route pointing to it - btw, the cell interface is always up, it has an ip etc

Sorry if this is information overload, just trying to paint the clearest picture possible

Router: Cisco ISR 1111
