Operational Considerations

This section documents the operational considerations
related to Skylight Flex 100 release 22.01.4.

Access Control List Considerations

The order of operation/matching of ACL rules is based on the order of the ACL configuration; a separate field/configuration to specify priority of the ACL is not supported.

ACLs associated with the port, when requiring modification, will have to be deleted and reconfigured with updated field value.

NETCONF Limitations

NETCONF management can only be made via the default credentials in the OS which are currently restricted to the admin username.

Addressed Issues

This section lists issues corrected in Skylight Flex 100 release 22.01.4.
