Chapter 4 Installation and Maintenance

Installing the SCE 2000 Platform

Attaching the Brackets to the SCE 2000

Before installing the SCE 2000 in the rack, you must first install an appropriate rack-mount bracket on each side of the front of the SCE 2000, as illustrated in the following figure. See Tools and Parts Required (on page 4-2) for a listing of the parts and tools required for installing the rack–mount.

To install the rack-mount brackets on the SCE 2000 chassis, complete the following steps:

Step 1 Align the rack-mount bracket to the side of the SCE 2000. Choose the proper bracket for your installation (2-post rack or 4-post rack) as illustrated in Rack-Mounting a SCE 2000 Platform ("Rack-Mounting a SCE 2000 Platform" on page 4-6).

Step 2 Insert and tighten three screws.

Step 3 Repeat steps 1 and 2 on the other side of the SCE 2000.

This completes the steps for attaching the rack-mount brackets to the SCE 2000.

If mounting the SCE 2000 in a rack with only two posts, skip to Mounting the System to a Rack (Mounting the System to a Rack "Mounting the System to the Rack" on page 4-9).

If mounting the SCE 2000 in a rack with four posts, proceed to the next step to attach the crossrail supports to the rack.

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.
