Chapter 5 Connecting the Management Interfaces and Performing Initial System Configuration

Initial System Configuration

Step 10: Completing and Saving the Configuration

When you have completed the entire configuration, the system checks for errors. If errors are found, a warning message appears. When the configuration is error-free, you may apply and save it.

To complete and save the configuration, complete the following steps:

Step 1 The system informs you that data collection is complete.

It is recommended that you view the entire new configuration before it is applied.

Type y and press Enter.

Note that there is no default.

If there are no errors, go to step 3.

Data collection for the system configuration is completed.

Would you like to view the new configuration before it is applied? [yes/no]: y

Step 2 If any errors are detected, you may choose to view them.

Press Enter.

Found errors in the new configuration, would you like to view them? [yes]: The following errors were found:

Warning - RDR formatter destination 10.1.1.1 is not allowed in the IP access-class.

Step 3 You are asked whether to apply and save the configuration.

Apply and Save this configuration? [yes/no]:

To apply and save the configuration, type y and press Enter.

To abort the setup procedure without applying or saving the configuration (recommended

if there are errors), type n and press Enter.

Setup procedure aborted, no configuration changes made.

If the setup is aborted, the dialog is ended.

Step 4 If there are no errors, the system requests confirmation of either a yes or no answer, in order to prevent mistakes.

Type the appropriate answer (y or n) and press Enter.

The running configuration would be overwritten by the changes you have just entered, are you sure? [yes/no]:

The selected action is carried out by the system.

If the apply and save action is not confirmed (no), the setup is aborted.

Setup procedure aborted, no configuration changes made.

If the apply and save action is confirmed (yes), the configuration is applied and saved.

The new running configuration will be saved to the startup configuration.

Step 5 If the configuration was applied and saved, you may also save it to a file at a remote station.

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.
