🛶 CANU (CSM Automatic Network Utility)

will float through a Shasta network and make switch setup and validation a breeze.

CANU can be used to:

• Check if switches (Aruba, Dell, or Mellanox) on a Shasta network meet the firmware version requirements
• Check network cabling status using LLDP
• Validate BGP status
• Validate that SHCD spreadsheets are configured correctly and pass a number of checks
• Validate an SHCD against actual network cabling status to check for mis-cabling
• Generate switch configuration for an entire network
• Convert SHCD to CCJ (CSM Cabling JSON)
• Use CCJ / Paddle to validate the network and generate network config
• Run tests against the mgmt network to check for faults/inconsistencies.
• Backup switch configs.
