Cisco SCE8000 GBE Installation and Configuration Guide

Chapter 3 Cisco SCE 8000 Topology and Topology-Related Parameters

Topology-Related Parameters

See the following sections to determine the correct values for all topology-related parameters before

beginning to run the initial setup of the Cisco SCE 8000:

• Connection Mode Parameter, page 3-14

• sce-id Parameter, page 3-14

• Priority, page 3-14

• On-Failure Mode Parameter, page 3-15

There are four topology-related parameters:

• Connection mode—Can be any one of the following, depending on the physical installation of the

Cisco SCE 8000 (See Connection Mode Parameter, page 3-14):

–

Inline—single Cisco SCE 8000 inline

–

Receive-only—single Cisco SCE 8000 receive-only

–

Inline-cascade—two inline Cisco SCE 8000 platforms cascaded

–

Receive-only-cascade—two receive-only Cisco SCE 8000 platforms cascaded

• sce-id—In cascaded topologies, defines which link is connected to this SCE platform.

The sce-id parameter, which identifies the SCE platform, replaces the physically-connected-link

parameter, which identified the link. This change was required with the introduction of the

Cisco SCE 8000 GBE platform, which supports multiple links.

In the Cisco SCE 8000 10 GBE, the number assigned to the sce-id parameter (0 or 1) is defined as

the of number of the physically connected link.

Note For backward compatibility, the physically-connected-links parameter is currently still recognized.

• Priority—This parameter defines which is the primary Cisco SCE 8000 (See Priority, page 3-14.)

It is applicable only in a cascade topology

• On-failure—This parameter determines whether the system cuts the traffic or bypasses it when the

Cisco SCE 8000 either has failed or is booting. Traffic bypass can be achieved either through the

external optical bypass device or through the internal bypass mechanism of the SPA interface

processor. It is not applicable to receive-only topologies. (See the “On-Failure Mode Parameter”

section on page 3-15.)

These parameters are configured via the connection-mode command.
