Sandvine

Sandvine is consolidating and updating its download sites. As a result signature updates will no longer be available on download.proceranetworks.com. To continue to download signatures on releases of PacketLogic / ActiveLogic prior to version 22.24.00 installing signatures-sv-psf.tar.gz.gpg is recommended.

Instructions

Firmware and DRDL signatures have been migrated from download.proceranetworks.com to files.support.sandvine.com. This feature ensures a seamless transition for existing customers who use the CLI to upgrade firmware and signatures. For this purpose a transition package has been created which enables a seamless authentication to files.support.sandvine.com.

Note: Target audience for this bulletin is customers using any PacketLogic/ActiveLogic, Maestro or Elements firmware prior to 22.24.
