Introduction
The Cisco Multi-Processor WAN Application Module (MWAM) is a Cisco IOS application module that
you can install into the Catalyst 6500 series switch. The module allows you to run multiple instances of
Cisco Mobile Wireless applications, such as the Cisco Packet Data Serving Node (PDSN), or the Cisco
Mobile Wireless Home Agent (HA). Other applications will be added in future releases.

Cisco Mobile Wireless applications, such as the Cisco Packet Data Serving Node (PDSN), or the Cisco
Mobile Wireless Home Agent (HA). Other applications will be added in future releases.
Each MWAM card contains three processor complexes (PCs), with two CPUs each, that are used to run
IOS. Each CPU can be used to run an independent IOS image. The interfaces used by these IOS instances
are gigabit ethernet 802.1Q trunk ports, which carry VLAN encapsulated traffic to and from the network
through the Catalyst 6500 switch fabric. Each processor complex (housing two IOS instances) shares
one gigabit ethernet interface.

Currently, an MWAM card running either PDSN or HA can run up to five instances of IOS
simultaneously. Each MWAM card is dedicated to run one function only, PDSN or HA. The Catalyst
6500 chassis can house up to six MWAM cards.
