Starting the Cisco SCE8000 Platform

Final Tests

The procedures for performing the final tests to verify that the Cisco SCE8000 is functioning properly are explained in the following sections:

Verifying Operational Status, page 7-3

Viewing the User Log Counters, page 7-3

Viewing the Ten Gigabit Ethernet Port Status, page 7-4

Viewing the Ten Gigabit Ethernet Counters, page 7-4

Verifying Operational Status

After all the ports are connected, verify that the Cisco SCE8000 is not in a Warning state.

Step 1 On the front panel of the Service Control module, examine the Status LED; it should be green.

Step 2 To display the operation status of the system, at the Cisco SCE8000# prompt, type show system operation-statusand press Enter.

A message displaying the operation status of the system appears. If the system is operating in order, the following message appears:

System Operation status is Operational.

If the Status LED is red or flashing amber, the following message appears:

System Operation status is Warning

Description:

1.Power Supply problem

2.Line feed problem

3.Amount of External bypass devices detected is lower than expected amount

Viewing the User Log Counters

View the user log for errors that occurred during the installation process.

Step 1 At the SCE# prompt, type show logger device user-file-log counters and press Enter.

Examples for Viewing the User Log Counters

The following example shows the current User-File-Log device counters.

SCE#show logger device user-file-log counters

Logger device User-File-Log counters:

Total info messages: 1

Total warning messages: 0

Total error messages: 0

Total fatal messages: 0

If there are “Total error messages” or “Total fatal messages”, use the show logger device user-file-logcommand to display details about the errors.

SCE8000 specifications

Cisco Systems SCE8000 is an advanced service control edge solution designed to enhance the management and performance of service provider networks. Targeted at carriers and large enterprises, the SCE8000 is characterized by its capacity to efficiently handle traffic management, quality of service (QoS), and policy enforcement across various services including voice, video, and data.

One of the main features of the SCE8000 is its scalability. The platform supports a high-density architecture, allowing service providers to seamlessly expand their networks to accommodate growing traffic demands. This scalability is complemented by an impressive throughput, which enables the handling of millions of concurrent sessions, making it ideal for environments with significant user activity.

The SCE8000 employs advanced traffic management capabilities, leveraging deep packet inspection (DPI) technology. This allows for granular visibility into network traffic, enabling service providers to make informed decisions about resource allocation and policy application. Additionally, the device supports multiple protocol analysis, ensuring compatibility across various network services and enhancing overall efficiency.

Quality of Service (QoS) is another critical characteristic of the SCE8000. The platform provides sophisticated mechanisms to prioritize traffic, thereby ensuring that delay-sensitive applications such as VoIP and video streaming receive the necessary bandwidth. This capability is enhanced by Cisco's intelligent traffic shaping and congestion management features, which work together to optimize the user experience even in congested network conditions.

The SCE8000 also integrates robust security features, including session initiation protocol (SIP) security, to protect against malicious attacks and maintain service integrity. This is particularly important in today's cyber landscape where service providers must safeguard their infrastructure from various threats.

Automation and programmability are essential characteristics of the SCE8000, enabling operators to implement policies quickly and efficiently. This feature allows for dynamic scaling and rapid deployment of new services, significantly reducing the time to market for new offerings.

In conclusion, Cisco Systems SCE8000 stands out as a powerful platform for managing service provider networks. With its high scalability, advanced traffic management, quality of service assurance, robust security features, and automation capabilities, the SCE8000 enables service providers to deliver a superior customer experience while optimizing their operational efficiency. This makes it an invaluable asset for any organization looking to enhance its network performance and service delivery.
