Optical Bypass Module (OPB-SCE8K), page 2-10 • The Cisco SCE8000 platform optical bypass module preserves the service provider 10GBE links under all circumstances. At power failure the bypass is automatically activated. It can also be activated by the Cisco SCE8000 software.
• when both of them fail. In a case where the Cisco SCE8000 platform must be replaced, it is possible to remove the bypass modules from the SCE8000 chassis without disconnecting them from the network and then reinstall them in the new SCE platform, so that traffic links are preserved even in a case of complete failure and replacement of the Cisco SCE8000 platform.

OPB-SCE8K-MM supports Multi-Mode optics and should be used with SCE8000 equipped with Multi-Mode optics. The optical bypass module is installed either internally, in slot #4 of the Cisco SCE8000 chassis or in an external mounting panel in the rack. Up to two optical bypass modules can be mounted internally, supporting inline insertion into two links.

• The Cisco SCE8000 Platform The Cisco SCE8000 is a solution for dual links with load sharing and asymmetrical routing and support for fail-over between two SCE platforms. The Cisco SCE8000 is built to support wire speed processing of full-duplex 10GBE streams. The Cisco SCE8000 can, therefore, be deployed in a multi-link environment, in several different topologies.
Must the system be designed to guarantee uninterrupted Cisco SCE8000 functionality? If so, there must be a backup Cisco SCE8000 platform (or a backup for each platform in an MGSCP topology) to assume operation in case of failure of the primary device.
Multi-Gigabit Service Control Platform (MGSCP) Topology, page 3-7 • SCE8000 Interface Numbering The following diagram shows the numbering of the SCE8000 interfaces as indicated in the topology diagrams in this chapter. The interface numbering is explained as follows: The first digit is the slot number (always 3).
Typically, the Cisco SCE8000 is connected in a full duplex 10GBE link between two devices (Router, BRAS, etc.). When the Cisco SCE8000 is installed as an inline installation, it physically resides on the data link between the subscribers and the network.
SPAN-ports destinations. Dual Link: Receive-Only Topology In this topology, one Cisco SCE8000 is connected in receive-only mode to two full duplex, 10 Gig 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.
Dual Cisco SCE8000 Topology (Cascade) In this topology, two cascaded Cisco SCE8000s are used. This allows a fail-over solution, where in case of a failure of one Cisco SCE8000 the functionality that the Cisco SCE8000 provides is preserved by the redundant platform.
In addition, it is possible to configure the Cisco SCE8000 to use the external optical bypass device • so that in the event of any failure of the Cisco SCE8000, it will be used to provide link continuity. This ensures 100% link continuity at the expense of providing asymmetric routing functionality.
Redundant Cisco 7600 Series Router Two Cisco 7600 Series routers can be used to provide network redundancy. In this topology, one link on each Cisco SCE8000 platform is connected to each router. Therefore, one SCE platform is required for each link.
The internal bypass mechanism of the Cisco SCE8000 allows traffic to continue to flow, if desired, even if the device itself is not fully functioning. In addition, the Cisco SCE8000 is designed with the ability to control up to two external optical bypass devices (one per link). This is needed because the internal bypass mechanism cannot maintain traffic flow in all cases.
Page 44
Link Continuity Figure 3-9 Subscriber 1 Subscriber 2 If the SCE8000 platform fails, traffic flows through the optical bypass module, bypassing the SCE8000, so that traffic on the link is maintained Figure 3-10 Subscriber 1 Subscriber 2 In cascade configuration, installation of the optical bypass module is required Note This optical bypass module can be added to link without altering the basic characteristics of the topology.
On-failure — This parameter determines whether the system cuts the traffic or bypasses it when the • Cisco SCE8000 either has failed or is booting. Traffic bypass can be achieved either through the external optical bypass device or through the internal bypass mechanism of the SPA interface processor.
Note that these defaults apply only when both devices are started together. However, if the primary Cisco SCE8000 fails and then recovers, it will not revert to active status, but remains in standby status, while the secondary device remains active On-Failure Mode Parameter The on-failure mode parameter configures the action taken by a failed box when a failure is detected.
Cisco SCE8000 Topology and Topology-Related Parameters In a single Cisco SCE8000 topology, the value of this parameter is determined by whether or not the link can be completely cut when the Cisco SCE8000 fails, or whether traffic flow should continue across the link in spite of platform failure.

The DC supplies each have the provision for a dual connection to the power source in order to permit • high-power operation without exceeding current ratings.

Note Since the optic bypass module will directly connect the subscriber and network side optic paths when bypassing the SCE8000, the subscriber and network optic links must be of the same type (single-mode or multi-mode) and wavelength. Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from disconnected fibers or connectors. Avoid exposure to Warning radiation and do not stare into open aperture.

Identifying Startup Problems Startup problems are commonly due to the source power or to a poor cable connection. When you start up the Cisco SCE8000 platform for the first time, you should observe the startup sequence described in detailed description of the normal startup sequence and describes the steps to take if the system does not perform that sequence as expected.
Check the following to help isolate a problem in the power subsystem. In the normally configured Cisco SCE8000 platform with redundant power supply units, it is unlikely that the device will not start at all. However, at startup it should be verified that both power supply units are operational, and therefore the following steps should be followed if the Power LED on the front panel remains unlit when the Cisco SCE8000 platform is powered up.

Check the following to help isolate a problem in the link interface subsystem. In general, the case where no traffic is coming out of the Cisco SCE8000 is often caused by link problems or the 10GBE interface configuration. Note that in some cases, the problem which seems as a transmit problem could be in the Rx (no traffic is being received by the Cisco SCE8000 or there is actually no traffic on the line, which could be a normal situation).

Power supply ground is required. Install the PWR-2700-DC/4 power supply ground as described in this procedure. Note The system ground connection with the PWR-2700-DC/4 power supply in a Cisco SCE8000 is provided by the PWR-2700-DC/4 power supply ground. Additionally, you can connect a system (earth) ground. Note You must always connect the PWR-2700-DC/4 power supply ground.

Warning Power supply captive installation screws must be tight to ensure protective grounding continuity. As the power requirement of the SCE8000 will not exceed 1350W, it is not necessary to connect two Note pairs of input wires to each power supply. Should it be desired to connect two pairs of input wires, both pairs of input wires for one 2700W DC-input power supply must come from the same battery system (A feed);...

Figure A-2 Subscriber In the above configuration, it is essential that the SCE8000 be operating in receive-only mode. Other Note configurations may cause SPAN port traffic to be returned to the switch, causing unpredictable behavior. Unsupported Configuration Due to the 10GBE characterstics described above, the following configuration is not supported in the 10 GBE environment.
