Step 9: Configuring the Topology-Dependent Parameters

The topology configuration menu is a series of guided questions relating to the deployment of the
SCE 1000 in the network and its mode of operation. Values for the parameters are configured
based on the user answers.
The correct value for each parameter must be ascertained before configuring the system to make
sure that the system will function in the desired manner. (See Topology (on page 3-1) for a
comprehensive discussion of topology and the related parameters.)
There are three topology-related parameters:
•
•
•
The procedure described below is a hypothetical presentation of all the questions in the topology
configuration. In actual practice, it is impossible for all questions to be presented in any one
configuration, as this part of the dialog is not linear like the other sections, but branches
depending on the parameter values entered.
Study the examples that follow to understand the procedure for various topologies.
To configure topology dependent parameters, complete the following steps:
Step 1 Enter the topology configuration menu.
Type y and press Enter.
The topology configuration dialog begins.
Step 2 Specify the connection mode.
Specify the On-failure link behavior.
Step 3
Specify the admin status of the SCE 1000 after abnormal boot.
Step 4
OL-7821-05
Connection mode — Can be either Inline or Receive-only, depending on the physical
installation of the SCE 1000.
Bypass state when the SCE 1000 is not operational (on-failure) — This parameter
determines whether the system cuts the traffic or bypasses it when the SCE 1000 has failed.
Status after reboot caused by fatal error or abnormal shutdown — This parameter
determines whether the SCE 1000 returns to normal operational state after a failure.
