WAE_6_3_Documentation_Roadmap

Cisco WAN Automation Engine 6.3 Documentation Roadmap

.

Note We sometimes update the documentation after original publication. Therefore, you should review the documentation on Cisco.com for any updates.

This reference helps direct you to the appropriate Cisco WAE documentation. The following terms are used in describing directories in which documentation resides:

- $CARIDEN_HOME —Directory in which the Cisco WAE Design, Cisco WAE Live, and Cisco WAE Collector executables and binaries are installed. The Linux default is /opt/cariden/software/mate/current .

- $WAE_HOME —Directory in which the packages are installed. The default is /opt/cariden/software .

Where to Find Documentation

- Documentation for each $WAE_HOME subdirectory is located in its docs directory. For example, $WAE_HOME/wae-core/docs contains its relevant documentation.

- All documentation is in the $CARIDEN_HOME/docs directory and in $WAE_HOME/docs/<package> directory.

- The Cisco WAE Design GUI and the Cisco WAE web UI each have Help menus that provide access to relevant documentation.
