Configuring The Connection Mode - Cisco SCE 2000 Quick Start Manual

Configuring the Connection Mode

•
•
•
Step 1 Install both SCE 2000s, power them up, and perform the initial system configuration. (See
Power Supply Units
Step 2 Connect both SCE 2000s to the management station.(See
Step 3 Connect the cascade ports. The cascade ports must be connected directly in Layer 1 (dark fibers), not
through switches. (See
Step 4 Set topology configurations for each SCE 2000 via the connection-mode options. (See
Topology-Related Parameters for Redundant Topologies
Step 5 Make sure that the SCE 2000s have synchronized and active SCE 2000 was selected.
Use the show interface linecard 0 link mode command.
If you want to start with bypass/sniffing, change the link mode to your required mode in both SCE 2000s
Step 6
on both links. The bypass mode will be applied only to the active SCE 2000. ( See
Step 7 Make sure that the link mode is as you required.
Use the show interface linecard 0 link mode command.
Connect the traffic port of SCE 2000 #1. This will cause a momentary down time until the network

elements from both sides of the SCE 2000 auto-negotiate with it and start working (when working
inline). ( See
Step 9 Connect the traffic port of SCE 2000 #2, this will cause a momentary down time until the network
elements from both sides of the SCE 2000 auto-negotiate with it and start working (when working
inline). ( See
Step 10 When full control is needed, change the link mode on both SCE 2000s on both links to 'forwarding'. It
is recommended to first configure the active SCE 2000 and then the standby. ( See
Step 11 You can now start working with the Subscriber Manager.

–
Physically-connected-links — For each of the cascaded SCE platforms, this parameter defines the
number of the link (Link 0 or Link 1) connected to this SCE platform.
Priority — For each of the cascaded SCE platforms, this parameter defines whether it is the primary
or secondary device.
On-failure — For each of the cascaded SCE platforms, this parameter determines whether the
system cuts the traffic or bypasses it when the SCE platform either has failed or is booting.
