    Typically, Cisco SCE 8000 is connected in a full-duplex 10GBE link between two devices (Router, broadband remote access server, and so on). When Cisco SCE 8000 is installed inline, it physically resides on the data link between the subscribers and...
  • Page 7 In this topology, an optical splitter resides physically on the 10GBE link between the subscribers and the network (see Figure The traffic passes through the optical splitter, which splits the traffic to Cisco SCE 8000. As a result, Cisco SCE 8000 only receives traffic and does not transmit.

  • Page 8: Dual Cisco Sce 8000 Topology (Cascade)

    Cisco SCE 8000 processes the traffic of the two links, whereas the secondary Cisco SCE 8000 only bypasses the traffic of its links to the primary Cisco SCE 8000 for processing, and then bypasses the processed traffic back to the link. The two Cisco SCE 8000s also exchange keep-alive messages and subscriber state information.

    Cisco SCE 8000. • You can configure Cisco SCE 8000 to use an external optical bypass device so that if it fails, the bypass device is used to provide link continuity. This configuration ensures 100 percent link continuity at the expense of providing asymmetric routing functionality.

    Installing the Cisco SCE 8000 Platform To install the Cisco SCE 8000 platform, complete the following steps. (For more information, see the Cisco SCE 8000 10GBE Installation and Configuration Guide or the Cisco SCE 8000 GBE Installation and Configuration Guide.) Install the Cisco SCE platform on the rack.

  • Page 12: Mgscp Topologies

    Right-hand External Bypass port on the SCE 8000-SCM-E module. MGSCP Topologies In an MGSCP deployment, the exact cabling scheme depends on the number and arrangement of ports in the EtherChannel in the Cisco 7600 Series router. It is, therefore, not possible to provide exact cabling schemes.

  • Page 13: Installing The Subscriber Manager

    • If two Cisco 7600 Series routers are used (for network redundancy), one link on each Cisco SCE 8000 platform is connected to each router. This topology requires twice the number of Cisco SCE 8000 platforms, one platform for each link.
