Chapter 7 Basic SCE 2000 Platform Operations

Starting the SCE 2000 Platform

Final Tests

The procedures for performing the final tests to verify that the SCE 2000 is functioning properly are explained in the following sections:

 

 

Verifying Operational Status (on page 7-3)

 

 

Viewing the User Log Counters (on page 7-3)

 

 

Verifying Operational Status

 

 

After all the ports are connected, verify that the SCE 2000 is not in a Warning state.

 

 

To verify that the SCE 2000 is not in a warning state, complete the following steps:

 

Step 1 On the SCE 2000 Front panel, examine that the Status LED is flashing green.

 

Step 2

To display the operation status of the system, at the SCE 2000# prompt, type show system

 

 

operation-status and 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.

 

 

EXAMPLE:

 

 

The following example displays a sample output where the LEDs appear red/orange:

 

 

SCE 2000#show system operation-status

 

 

System Operation status is Operational

 

 

Viewing the User Log Counters

 

 

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

 

 

To display the user log device counters, complete the following steps:

 

 

At the SCE 2000# prompt, type show logger device User-File-Log counters and

 

 

press Enter.

 

 

EXAMPLE:

 

 

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

 

 

SCE 2000#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.

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.
