Testing Connectivity: Examining Link LEDs and Counters

If the Cisco SCE8000 platform has been powered up, test now to verify that connectivity has been
established on all links. If the Cisco SCE8000 platform is not powered up, perform this step after starting
the Cisco SCE8000 platform.

Examining the LEDs

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

How to View the Ten Gigabit Ethernet Port Status

At the Cisco SCE8000# prompt, type show interface TenGigabitEthernet 3/ baynumber /0.
Step 1
This displays the port link status.
The following example displays a system response.
Cisco 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 SCE8000 for both Rx and Tx.
However, in receive-only topologies, the counters for the Tx do not increment, as the SCE8000 is only
monitoring traffic, and not re-transmitting it
At the Cisco SCE8000# prompt, type show interface TenGigabitEthernet 3/ baynumber /0 counters.
Step 1
This displays the TenGigabitEthernet counters. This command enables you to verify that traffic is taking
place. You can see that the counters increase, together with real-time packet flow through the Cisco
SCE8000.
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.
