Installing a Cascaded System

Installing a Cascaded System
This section outlines the installation procedures for a redundant solution with two cascaded SCE
2000 platforms. Refer to the Cisco Service Control Engine (SCE) CLI Command Reference for
details of the CLI commands.
Warning When working with two SCE 2000 platforms with split-flow and redundancy, it is extremely important
to follow this installation procedure.
To install a cascaded system, complete the following steps:
Step 1
Step 2
Step 3
Step 4
Step 5
Use the show interface linecard 0 connection-mode command.
Step 6
Step 7

SCE 2000 4xGBE Installation and Configuration Guide
6-12
Install both SCE 2000 platforms, power them up, and perform the initial system
configuration. (See Installation and Maintenance (on page 4-1) and Connecting the
Management Interfaces and Performing Initial System Configuration (on page 5-1).)
Connect both SCE 2000 platforms to the management station.(See Connecting the
Management Interface (on page 5-26))
Connect the cascade ports. (See Dual Link: Two SCE 2000 platforms Topology.)
Set topology configurations for each SCE 2000 platform via the connection-mode
options. (See Topology-Related Parameters for Redundant Topologies (on page 6-13).)
Make sure that the SCE 2000 platforms have synchronized and active SCE 2000
platform was selected.
If you want to start with bypass/sniffing, change the link mode to your required mode in
both SCE 2000 platforms on both links. The bypass mode will be applied only to the
active SCE 2000 platform. (See Link Mode (on page 6-14).)
Make sure that the link mode is as you required. (See Monitoring the System (on page
15).)
Connect the traffic port of SCE 2000 platform #1. This will cause a momentary down
time until the network elements from both sides of the SCE 2000 platform auto-negotiate
with it and start working (when working inline). (See Dual Link: Two SCE 2000
platforms Topology.)
Connect the traffic port of SCE 2000 platform #2, this will cause a momentary down
time until the network elements from both sides of the SCE 2000 platform auto-negotiate
with it and start working (when working inline). (See Dual Link: Two SCE 2000
platforms Topology.)
When full control is needed, change the link mode on both SCE 2000 platforms on both
links to 'forwarding'. It is recommended to first configure the active SCE 2000 platform
and then the standby. (See Link Mode (on page 6-14).)
