Testing Connectivity: Examining Link LEDs and Counters

Testing Connectivity: Examining Link LEDs and Counters
If the Cisco SCE 8000 platform has been powered up, verify that connectivity has been established on
all links. If the Cisco SCE 8000 platform is not powered up, perform this step after starting the Cisco
SCE 8000 platform.

Examining the LEDs

The 10 GBE Link LED should be green, verifying that an active connection exists.

How to View the Ten Gigabit Ethernet Port Status

To view the ten gigabit ethernet port status, enter show interface TenGigabitEthernet 3/baynumber/0
at the SCE8000> prompt. This displays the port link status.
The following example displays a system response:
SCE8000# show interface TenGigabitEthernet 3/1/0
Actual Status:
Link is on
Bandwidth: 10000000Kbps
Burst-size: 500000bytes

How to View the Ten Gigabit Ethernet Counters

In an inline topology, you can monitor traffic via the platform counters for both the Rx and Tx
connections. The counters increase as packets flow through the Cisco SCE 8000 for both Rx and Tx.
However, in receive-only topologies, the counters for the Tx do not increment, as the Cisco SCE 8000
is only monitoring traffic, and not re-transmitting it.
To view the ten gigabit ethernet counters, enter show interface TenGigabitEthernet 3/baynumber/0
counters at the SCE8000> prompt. This displays the TenGigabitEthernet counters. This command
enables you to verify that traffic is taking place. The counters increase together with real-time packet
flow through the Cisco SCE 8000.
Remember, in bump-in-the-wire topology, both the Rx and Tx counters apply as traffic monitors. For
receive-only topologies, using an external splitter, only the Rx counters apply.
