Aryaka offers a virtual ANAP (V-ANAP) for customers that prefer to consolidate their virtualized network functions (VNFs) on a single host server running the universal customer premise equipment (uCPE) platform. In general, the V-ANAP image downloaded link appears when you configure a site and specify one of the four virtual license types. After you download the image file and install it, you are assigned a UUID (or two UUIDs if you are using two V-ANAPs in a high availability implementation), which you must enter when you configure the site's ANAP. When the site configuration is complete, the VANAP UUID is mapped to the ANAP's serial number. If you are using a virtual license type for a site, the VANAP Image and Details link appears on both the Site Information and the ANAP Information tabs. To download and install a V-ANAP Open the Site Information tab in edit mode for a site that you configured with one of the following license types in the Site License Type field: Virtual - Small Virtual - Medium Virtual - Large Virtual - XLarge Click  VANAP Image and Details  at the top of the Site Details pane.
