Chapter 6 Cabling the Line Ports and Completing the Installation

Connecting the line ports to the network

Configuring the Gigabit Ethernet Line Interfaces

To configure GBE auto-negotiation for a specified GBE line interface, complete the following steps:

Step 1 To enter the Global Configuration Mode, at the SCE 2000# prompt, type configure, and press Enter.

The SCE 2000(config)# prompt appears.

Step 2 To enter the desired GBE port interface, type interface GigabitEthernet 0/portnumber, and press Enter, where portnumber is the number of the selected port (1-4).

The SCE 2000(config if)# prompt appears.

Step 3 Type auto-negotiate and press Enter.

The SCE 2000(config if)# prompt appears.

Step 4 To return to Global Configuration Mode, type exit and press Enter. The SCE 2000(config)# prompt appears.

Repeat this procedure to configure auto-negotiation for the other GBE port interfaces as needed.

Connecting the GBE Line Interface Ports

The following sections present the general procedure for cabling the GBE interface ports. Refer to Cabling Diagrams (on page 6-2) to find the appropriate cabling diagram for the topology of your system for the specific connections required.

Note When installing an External Optical Bypass module, the SCE 2000 line ports are connected to the module. See Cabling the External Optical Bypass Module (on page A-4)for complete instructions.

Fiber Specifications

The following table presents the fiber specifications. The SCE 2000 may be ordered with either Multimode or Single Mode transceivers The transceiver type is indicated on the front panel under the ports. Note that both transceivers on any individual SCE 2000 are the same, either 850nm Multimode OR 1310nm Single Mode.

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.
