Chapter 5 Connecting the Management Interfaces and Performing Initial System Configuration

 

Initial System Configuration

 

 

Parameter

Definition

 

 

Authentication Failure

Sets the status of the Authentication Failure traps.

trap status

 

 

 

enterprise traps status

Sets the status of the enterprise traps.

 

 

system administrator

Name of the system administrator.

 

 

Topology Configuration

 

 

 

connection mode

Is the SCE 2000 installed using inline topology or receive-only topology

 

using an optical splitter?

 

 

type of deployment

Is this a cascade topology, with two SCE 2000s connected via the cascade

 

ports? Or is this a single platform topology?

 

 

physically connected link

In a cascade deployment this parameter sets the index for the link that this

(cascade topology only)

SCE 2000 is deployed on. The options for SCE 2000 are link-0 or link-1.

In a single-SCE 2000 Platform deployment this parameter is not relevant

 

 

since one SCE 2000 is deployed on both links. In this case the link

 

connected to port1-port2 is by default link-0 and the link connected to

 

port3-port4 is be default link-1.

 

 

priority

If this is a cascaded topology, is this SCE 2000 the primary or secondary

(cascade topology only)

SCE 2000?

 

 

 

on-failure behavior

If this SCE 2000 is deployed inline, should the failure behavior be bypass

(inline connection mode

or cutoff of the link?

 

only)

 

 

 

Admin status of the SCE

After a reboot due to a failure, should the SCE 2000 remain in a Failure

2000 after abnormal boot

status or move to operational status provided no other problem was

 

detected?

 

 

Following are some general instructions regarding the setup dialog:

All default values appear in square brackets [default].

If no value appears in the brackets [], or more than one option appears [yes/no], then this parameter does not have a default value.

To accept the default value, press Enter.

If you need more information about any parameter, type ? and press Enter.

A help message will appear describing the expected format of the parameter and any other requirements.

To jump to the end of the setup dialog at any point, accepting all remaining default values, press ^z.

In certain cases, there will be two or more logically related parameters within a menu. In these situations, it is not permitted to jump to the end of the setup dialog until all related parameters are configured. If you try to jump to the end of the setup dialog, the following message will appear: “Sorry, Skipping is not allowed at this stage.”

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.
