Cisco IOS WAP Gateway with WTLS Class 2 Support
Configuring a WAP Gateway on a Multifunction Access Server
The WAP gateway can run either on a dedicated router or on a multifunction router. One example of a
multifunction router would be to run the Cisco IOS WAP Gateway software on an access server. The
ability to enable other Cisco IOS features will depend on the CPU and memory in the router. Feature
enablement will affect the performance of the router. To run the WAP gateway on a multifunction access
server, note the following configuration tips:

Configure the gateway on a loopback (virtual) interface for enhanced availability.
Specifying How the WAP Gateway Locates Content Servers
When a wireless device requests a web page via the WAP gateway, the Cisco IOS software must
determine where to find the requested web page. A number of Cisco IOS commands can be configured
to help reduce the time required to access the requested web page.

To specify multiple DNS servers and associated features, use any or all of the following commands in

Router(config)# ip name-server server-address1
[server-address2...server-address6]
Specifies the IP addresses of up to six name
servers to access DNS information. The first IP
address specified becomes the first server that is
accessed and the following IP addresses are
checked in the order in which they are input.
