Monitoring Traffic Using the 10-Gigabit Ethernet Counters

In an inline topology, you can monitor traffic through the platform counters for both the RX and TX connections. As packets
flow through the Cisco SCE8000 for both RX and TX, the counters increase.
However, in receive-only topologies, the counters for the TX do not increment because the SCE8000 is only monitoring traffic,
and not re-transmitting traffic.
At the Cisco SCE> prompt, type show interface TenGigabitEthernet 3/baynumber/0 counters. The TenGigabitEthernet
Step 1
counters appear.
Step 2 Use the output 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 function as traffic monitors. For receive-only
topologies using an external splitter, only the RX counters apply.
The following example shows how to view the counters of the first 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface.
Cisco SCE8000>show interface TenGigabitEthernet 3/0/0 counters
In total octets: 100
In good unicast packets: 90
In good multicast packets: 0
In good broadcast packets: 10
In packets discarded: 0
In packets with CRC/Alignment error: 0
In undersized packets: 0
In oversized packets: 0
Out total octets: 93*2^32+1022342538
Out unicast packets: 858086051
Out non unicast packets: 0
Out packets discarded: 0

Viewing User Log Counters

View the user log for errors that may have occurred during the installation process.
Step 1 At the SCE> prompt, type show logger device User-File-Log counters and press Enter.
Step 2 If Total error messages or Total fatal messages appear, use the show logger device User-File-Log command to display
details about the errors.
SCE8000#show logger device user-file-log counters
Logger device User-File-Log counters:
Total info messages: 1
Total warning messages: 0
Total error messages: 0
Total fatal messages: 0

Configuring the SCE8000 Platform

After you install the SCE8000 platform hardware, check all external connections, turn on system power, and allow the system
to boot, you are ready to install the service control application. However, before you install the application, you might need to
configure the SCE platform. Instructions for configuring the SCE8000 platform are beyond the scope of this publication.
