Cisco Active Network Abstraction (Cisco ANA) is a highly scalable, fault-tolerant, customizable management system for large-scale, multi-protocol, and multi-vendor networks. The Cisco Active Network Abstraction (CANA) v4.0 course teaches students how to install, configure, customize, and effectively use the Cisco ANA platform. The student gains understanding of the primary components of the ANA architecture; guidelines for deployment; hardware and software requirements; and the concepts, processes, and tools that allow customization of an ANA management system to meet the specific needs of the customer's unique network. The students' understanding is deepened by hands-on labs that include installing the ANA units, gateway, and client software. Students will use Cisco ANA to manage the network and its inventory of network elements, the associated faults and events, configuration files, and software images. Students will also use Cisco ANA to customize the ANA platform using the Soft Properties, custom commands, and workflow features.
