Chapter 6 Cabling the Line Ports and Completing the Installation

Installing a Cascaded System

Again, auto-negotiation for bump-in-the-wire topology may be enabled or disabled. For receive- only topologies, using an external splitter, auto-negotiation must be disabled.

To view the Gigabit Ethernet counters, complete the following steps:

Step 1 At the SCE 2000# prompt, type show interface GigabitEthernet 0/interface-numbercounters.

This displays the GigabitEthernet 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 2000.

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

EXAMPLE:

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

SCE 2000#show interface GigabitEthernet 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 SCE application.

Installing a Cascaded System

This section outlines the installation procedures for a redundant solution with two cascaded SCE 2000 platforms. Refer to the Cisco Service Control Engine (SCE) CLI Command Reference for details of the CLI commands.

Warning When working with two SCE 2000 platforms with split-flow and redundancy, it is extremely important to follow this installation procedure.

To install a cascaded system, complete the following steps:

Step 1 Install both SCE 2000 platforms, power them up, and perform the initial system configuration. (See Installation and Maintenance (on page 4-1) and Connecting the Management Interfaces and Performing Initial System Configuration (on page 5-1).)

SCE 2000 4xGBE specifications

The Cisco Systems SCE 2000 4xGBE is a robust solution designed to optimize IP networks and enhance service delivery. As a member of Cisco's Service Control Engine (SCE) product line, this device is particularly suited for service providers looking to manage network traffic, improve service quality, and provide a suite of advanced management features.

One of the standout features of the SCE 2000 is its ability to process and analyze network traffic in real-time. This capability allows operators to gain insights into user behavior, application usage, and overall network performance. By utilizing deep packet inspection technology, the SCE 2000 can identify different types of traffic, enabling network managers to enforce policies and prioritize critical applications effectively.

In terms of interface capabilities, the SCE 2000 offers four 1 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) ports. This versatility allows for easy integration into existing network infrastructure while ensuring ample bandwidth for data transfer. The device supports both IPv4 and IPv6 protocols, making it future-proof and suitable for evolving network demands.

One of the significant technologies employed by the SCE 2000 is Service Level Agreement (SLA) management. This feature ensures that service providers can meet their commitments to customers by monitoring performance metrics such as latency, jitter, and packet loss. The ability to generate reports based on SLA compliance allows for better customer engagement and transparency.

Additionally, the SCE 2000 facilitates dynamic resource allocation, enabling service providers to adapt network resources based on current demand. This elasticity is crucial in managing peak loads and ensuring a seamless user experience. Furthermore, the device’s support for Quality of Service (QoS) policies ensures that critical applications receive the necessary bandwidth and resources dedicated to maintaining operational efficiency.

The SCE 2000 also emphasizes security with features such as intrusion detection and prevention capabilities, helping protect the integrity of the network. This combination of performance monitoring, traffic management, and security makes the SCE 2000 an invaluable tool for service providers.

In conclusion, the Cisco Systems SCE 2000 4xGBE is a powerful network management solution that excels in providing real-time traffic management, SLA compliance, and security features. Its capabilities make it an essential component for service providers aiming to optimize their networks while delivering high-quality services to their customers.
