Single Link: Receive-only Topology

In this topology, an optical splitter resides physically on the 10 GBE link between the subscribers and
the network (see
Cisco SCE 8000. The Cisco SCE 8000, therefore, only receives traffic and does not transmit.

When configuring the Cisco SCE 8000, an optical splitter topology is referred to as "receive-only"
connection mode.
Note In an optical splitter topology, the Cisco SCE 8000 only enables traffic monitoring functionality.
Note When implementing receive-only topologies with a switch, the switch must support SPAN functionality
that includes separation between ingress and egress traffic and multiple SPAN-ports destinations.
