Physical Topologies
This topology allows both control and monitoring functionality where redundancy is required and
"inline" connection is used. The two Cisco SCE8000 GBE s are cascaded, so the active Cisco SCE8000
GBE processes the traffic of the two links, while the standby Cisco SCE8000 GBE only bypasses the
traffic of its links to the active Cisco SCE8000 GBE for processing, and then bypasses the processed
traffic back to the link. The two Cisco SCE8000 GBE s also exchange keep-alive messages and
subscriber state information.
In case the active Cisco SCE8000 GBE fails, the two Cisco SCE8000 GBE s switch their roles, and this
way fail-over is provided.
