Cisco Cisco IOS Software Release 12.4(23)

This section contains the following sections with information that is specific to the 
Cisco Catalyst 6000/Cisco 7600 Multi-Processor WAN Application Module.

The Cisco Multi-Processor WAN Application Module (MWAM) provides three processor complexes 
with dual processors used in two of the complexes and a single processor used in the remaining processor 
complex. This architecture provides five mobile wireless applications on one module. 

The MWAM does not provide external ports but is connected to the switch fabric in the 
Cisco Catalyst 6500/Cisco 7600 chassis. An internal Gigabit Ethernet port provides an interface 
between each processor complex and the Supervisor module. Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) 
direct traffic from external ports via the Supervisor module to each mobile wireless application instance. 

The MWAM provides an interface to the Cisco IOS image on the Supervisor module. The Supervisor 
module software enables a single session to be established to each application on the MWAM(s) in the 
chassis. Each session is used for configuring, monitoring, and troubleshooting application. For 
information on establishing sessions to mobile wireless application instances on the MWAM, see the 
Cisco Multi-Processor WAN Application Module User Guide: 

The software image that provides the mobile wireless application feature is downloaded through the 
Supervisor module and distributed to each processor complex on the MWAM(s). The same image is 
installed on all the processors in the MWAM. 

For memory recommendations for the Cisco Catalyst 6000/Cisco 7600 MWAM in Cisco IOS 
Release 12.4, see the
