Chapter 5 Connecting the Management Interfaces and Performing Initial System Configuration

Initial System Configuration

Do you want to save a copy of the startup configuration file in a remote station? [no]:

To save the configuration to a remote station, type y and press Enter.

The system will ask for FTP path:

Enter a full FTP path of the remote destination:

Step 6 The system informs you that the configuration is complete.

Committing configuration...

Configuration completed successfully.

Saving configuration...

Writing general configuration file to temporary location...

Backing-up general configuration file...

Copy temporary file to final location...

Done!

This completes the procedures for initial configuration of the SCE 2000 platform.

EXAMPLE #1:

Following is an example of a configuration that the user aborted due to errors detected in the configuration.

Note that no confirmation is requested for the decision to abort the setup. Had there been no errors, confirmation would have been requested before aborting.

Data collection for the system configuration is completed.

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

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

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

Warning - default Gateway 10.1.1.1 is not allowed in the IP access-class. Warning - IP Access list (1) conflicts with Telnet Access list (2) as follows:

Access list 2 permits all addresses while Access list 1 denies it. Apply and Save this configuration? [yes/no]: n

Setup procedure aborted, no configuration changes made.

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.
