Installing Accedian AFL Firmware on Skylight Flex

This install procedure requires a 2-step process, retrieving the file (a), followed by activation (b). These steps can be accomplished independently.


Note: Although optional, saving the running-config to the startup-config is required if intending to bring back the running-config after activating the new firmware.

  1. Do the following from the Skylight Flex unit:
    a) Retrieve the official AMO-100G-NG_23.09.1_2393.afl file from the TFTP server by typing following commands in the CLI:

ssh root@x.x.x.x <--- IP address of your Skylight Flex unit.

archive download-sw /overwrite tftp://10.247.0.4/AMO-100G-NG_23.09.1_2393.afl

b) Activate the firmware:

configure terminal
firmware activate; exit; exit
  1. Wait approximately two minutes as the unit will reboot.
