Sniffing — allows the SCE platform to forward traffic on the specified link through the bypass
mechanism while still analyzing the traffic passively.
Sniffing is permitted to be configured for all links, only (use the all-links option).
Cutoff — completely cuts off flow of traffic through the specified link.
Since the SCE 1000 platform has only one link, the link is not specified.
Since the SCE 2000 platforms have more than one link, it is required to specify the link. The link
designations are different for the GBE and FE platforms, as follows:
SCE 2000 4xGBE — GBE1-GBE2/GBE3-GBE4
–
– SCE 2000 4/8xFE — LINK1/LINK2
Use the ' all-links' option to configure the link mode for all links (SCE 2000 platforms only).
It is recommended that both links be configured together. Use the all-links option.
Link mode is relevant only to inline topologies.
It is recommended that in cascaded topologies, both SCE platforms be configured for the same link
mode, otherwise the service will be unpredictable.
Sniffing can only be configured for all links, therefore, to configure sniffing, the all-links option is
required, not just recommended.
The default link mode is forwarding. When other link modes are selected, active service control is
not available and any service control configuration will not be applicable.
