Page 15: Introduction
C H A P T E R 1 Introduction This chapter contains the following sections: • SCE Platform Management Interfaces The Service Control Engine family of programmable network devices is capable of performing stateful flow inspection of IP traffic, and controlling that traffic based on configurable rules. The Service Control Engine platforms provide a real-time classification of network usage through programmable, stateful inspection of bi-directional traffic flows and the mapping of these flows with user ownership.
Page 16: Sce Platform Management Interfaces
SCE Platform Management Interfaces SCE Platform Management Interfaces You can manage the SCE 2000 platform through either of its management interfaces, CLI or SNMP. Both these interfaces provide management access to the same database of the SCE 2000 platform; any configuration changes made through one interface are also reflected through the other interface.

Page 27: Topology
Topology This chapter describes the possible deployment topologies of the SCE 2000. The Cisco SCE solution offers a number of basic topology options that permit the user to tailor the SCE Platform to fit the needs of a particular installation. An understanding of the various issues and options is crucial to designing, deploying, and configuring the topology that best meets the requirements of the individual system.
Page 28: Functionality
Topology Considerations Number of links: The SCE 2000 may be connected to one or two GBE links. This is relevant • for both bump-in-the-wire and Receive-Only topologies. • Redundancy: Must the system be designed to guarantee uninterrupted SCE 2000 functionality? If so, there must be a backup SCE 2000 Platform to assume operation in case of failure of the primary device.
Page 29: Link Continuity
Chapter 3 Topology Link Continuity The bypass mechanism of the SCE 2000 allows traffic to continue to flow, if desired, even if the device itself is not functioning. Note that when the SCE 2000 is connected to the network through an optical splitter, a failure of the SCE 2000 does not affect the traffic flow, as the traffic continues to flow through the optical splitter.
Page 30: Physical Topologies
Physical Topologies Single Link: Receive-only Topology In this topology, an optical splitter resides physically on the GBE link between the subscribers and the network. The traffic passes through the optical splitter, which splits traffic to the SCE 2000. The SCE 2000, therefore, only receives traffic and does not transmit. Figure 3-1: Single SCE Platform Single Link: Receive-Only Topology When configuring the SCE 2000, an optical splitter topology is referred to as “receive-only”...
Page 31 Chapter 3 Topology Physical Topologies Single Link: Inline Topology Typically, the SCE 2000 is connected in a full duplex GBE link between two devices (Router, BRAS, etc.). When the SCE 2000 is installed as a bump-in-the-wire, it physically resides on the data link between the subscribers and the network.
Page 32: Two Cascaded Sce 2000S For Dual Links
Physical Topologies Dual Link: Receive-Only Topology In this topology, one SCE 2000 is connected in receive-only mode to two full duplex, GBE links using optical splitters. If the two links are load-shared, asymmetrical routing might occur, and some of the flows may be split, i.e. the upstream packets of the flow go on one link, and the downstream packets go on the other link.
Page 33: Topology-Related Parameters
Chapter 3 Topology Two Cascaded SCE 2000s: Inline Topology This topology allows both control and monitoring functionality where redundancy is required and “inline” connection is used. The two SCE 2000s are cascaded, so the primary SCE 2000 process the traffic of the two links, while the secondary SCE 2000 only bypasses the traffic of its links to the primary SCE 2000 for processing, and then bypasses the processed traffic back to the link.
Page 34: Sce 2000 Configuration
Physical Topologies SCE 2000 Configuration There are four topology-related parameters: Connection mode: Can be any one of the following, depending on the physical installation of • the SCE 2000: Inline: single SCE 2000 inline • • Receive-only: single SCE 2000 receive-only •...
Page 35: Physically Connected Links Parameter
Chapter 3 Topology Physically Connected Links Parameter If the system consists of more than one device, this parameter defines which link is connected to this SCE 2000. Currently the system supports a maximum of two links, which are designated link 0 and link 1.

Page 95: Cabling The Line Ports And Completing The Installation
Cabling the Line Ports and Completing the Installation This chapter provides instructions for cabling the Gigabit Ethernet ports for both one and two SCE 2000 topologies, and for configuring Gigabit Ethernet (GBE) interface parameters. In a topology utilizing two SCE 2000s (cascade), this includes the cascade ports as well as the line ports.
Page 96: Cabling Diagrams
Connecting the line ports to the network Cabling Diagrams Before beginning, find the appropriate cabling diagram for the topology in your installation: Single SCE 2000 topologies • Single Link: Inline Topology (on page 6-2) • • Single Link: Receive-only Topology (on page 6-3) Dual Link: Single SCE 2000 Topologies (on page 6-3) •...
Page 97 Chapter 6 Cabling the Line Ports and Completing the Installation Single Link: Receive-only Topology In this topology, an optical splitter resides physically on the GBE link that the SCE 2000 should monitor. The optical splitter is connected to the SCE 2000 via Rx links only. In this topology, the traffic passes through the optical splitter, which splits traffic to the SCE 2000.
Page 98 Connecting the line ports to the network As with the single link cabling, inline topologies require both Receive and Transmit fibers, while Receive-only systems use only Receive fibers. Receive-only topologies can be implemented using either an optical splitter or a switch. If a switch is Note used, it must support SPAN functionality that includes separation between ingress and egress traffic and multiple SPAN-ports destinations.
Page 99 Chapter 6 Cabling the Line Ports and Completing the Installation Dual Link: Two SCE 2000s Topology In this topology, two SCE 2000s are connected to two full duplex, GBE links, providing full redundancy through cascading the two SCE 2000s. The SCE 2000s may be either inline, to support both monitoring and traffic control functionality, or receive-only for traffic monitoring functionality only.
Page 100 Chapter 6 Cabling the Line Ports and Completing the Installation Connecting the line ports to the network Inline topologies require connecting both Receive and Transmit fibers to the SCE 2000. Cascade ports always require both Receive and Transmit fibers to be connected. The following diagram illustrates the connections for a dual link, two SCE 2000-platform inline topology.
