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.

Cisco WAN Automation Engine 6.4 Documentation Roadmap

First Published: July 2016

You can access the Cisco WAN Automation Engine (Cisco WAE) end-user documentation on Cisco.com at http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/routers/quantum-wan-automation-visibility-engine/tsd-products-support-series-home.html.

Note We sometimes update the documentation after original publication. Therefore, you should always 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.
Documentation is also available 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.
