Objectives

This guide provides an overview of the Multiprocessor WAN Application Module (MWAM) and its features. Included in this guide are instructions on how to install, remove, load, and configure the module.

Note This guide provides software configuration information, but it is not comprehensive. For detailed software configuration, refer to the Cisco IOS configuration guide and command reference publications (see the "Obtaining Documentation, Obtaining Support, and Security Guidelines" section for more information).

Audience

If you are an installer, technician, or administrator, this guide contains information you can use to install, configure, and administer your MWAM.

This guide is also appropriate for managers or planners who are thinking about installing an MWAM in a Catalyst 6500/Cisco 7600 chassis, as well as people who are interested in the MWAM in general.

This guide is designed with the assumption that you are already familiar with networking products, concepts, and terminology, but may not be familiar with Cisco products or the Cisco nomenclature.
