Chapter 5 Connecting the Management Interfaces and Performing Initial System Configuration
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 Information About Topology for a
comprehensive discussion of topology and the related parameters.)
There are three topology-related parameters:
• 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
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.
Enter the topology configuration menu.
Step 1
Would you like to enter the Topology configuration menu? [no]: y
Enter your password if prompted.
•
Type y and press Enter.
Enters the topology configuration dialog.
Step 2 Specify the connection mode.
• To define inline connection mode, press Enter.
• To define receive-only connection mode, type 2 and press Enter.
Enter Connection mode:
1- inline
2- receive-only
Enter your choice [1]:
Specify the On-failure link behavior.
Step 3
• To specify Bypass, press Enter.
• To specify Cutoff, type 2 and press Enter.
Enter On-failure behavior:
1- bypass
2- cutoff
Enter your choice [1]:
Specify the admin status of the SCE 1000 after abnormal boot:
Step 4
To specify Not-Operational status after abnormal boot, press Enter.
•
To specify Operational status after abnormal boot, type 1 and press Enter.
•
Enter admin status of the SCE after abnormal boot:
1- Operational
2- Not-Operational
