Cisco Catalyst Wireless Gateway CG113 Data Sheet
Available Languages
Bias-Free Language
The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

The Cisco Catalyst Wireless Gateway CG113 routers consist of the CG113-4GW6x and CG113-W6x models. The two models feature a low footprint teleworker-specific feature set and are managed centrally by Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager.
The Catalyst Wireless Gateway CG113 platform delivers reliable connectivity to home users and provides high performance to reach both corporate and cloud-hosted applications. Users can concurrently use different types of traffic (voice, video, corporate applications) seamlessly and reliably with a cellular backup mechanism. Centralized zero-touch provisioning, configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting are enabled with SD-WAN Manager, with a simplified, intuitive workflow for the network administrator. In addition, end-users can configure Home SSIDs, monitor their devices and access troubleshooting information through a new local Web User Interface.

Local Web User-Interface
The platform can be deployed in the following ways:
● The CG113 device connects to an enterprise headend using an IPsec tunnel. In this deployment, all corporate traffic is routed through the IPsec tunnel and all non-corporate traffic is routed directly to the internet.
● The CG113 device connects to an SD-WAN branch or headend router using IPsec Remote-Access. In this deployment, the CG113 is treated as a LAN-side device of the SD-WAN branch/headend device. The CG113 can now benefit from the SD-WAN features available on the branch/headend. In this deployment also, all corporate traffic is routed through the IPsec tunnel and all non-corporate traffic is routed directly to the internet.
