Loading and Activating a Service Control Application

This displays the Gigabit Ethernet counters. This command enables you to verify that traffic is taking place. You can see that the counters increase, together with the increased number of packets that flow through the SCE 1000.

Again, in bump-in-the-wire topology, both the Rx and Tx counters are relevant as traffic monitors. For receive-only topologies, using an external switch, only the Rx counters are relevant.

EXAMPLE:

The following example shows the counters of the first Gigabit Ethernet interface:

SCE 1000#show interface Gigabit Ethernet 0/1 counters

In total octets: 100

In good unicast packets: 90

In good multicast packets: 0

In good broadcast packets: 10

In packets discarded: 0

In packets with CRC/Alignment error: 0

In undersized packets: 0

In oversized packets: 0

Out total octets: 93*2^32+1022342538

Out unicast packets: 858086051

Out non unicast packets: 0

Out packets discarded: 0

You are now ready to continue to the next stage, loading and activating an Service Control

Application.

Loading and Activating a Service Control Application

The SCE 1000 platform provides the basic functionalities of Service Control analysis and enforcement. A Service Control solution requires that a Service Control application be loaded into the platform, to take advantage of the unique SCE platform capabilities.

Loading and activating an application includes the following stages:

Downloading the application provided as an SLI file to the SCE 1000 disk.

Activating the application.

Configuring the application.

The detailed procedure of how to perform these operations is not specified and described in this manual. For further details, refer to the following documentation:
