Chapter 8 Configuring the Connection
Configuring the Connection Mode
Configuring the Connection Mode
The connection mode command allows you to configure the topology of the system in one command.
The connection mode is determined by the physical installation of the Cisco SCE platform.
Caution
This command can only be used if the line card is in either
no-application
or
shutdown
mode. If an
application is installed on the Cisco SCE platform, the command will fail with an error message and help
instructions.
Options
The following topology-related parameters are included in the connection mode command. Note that
some options are relevant for cascaded topologies only.
•
Connection mode—
Can be any one of the following, depending on the physical installation of the
Cisco SCE platform:
–
Inline—Single Cisco SCE platform inline
–
Receive-only—Single Cisco SCE platform receive-only
–
Inline-cascade—Two cascaded Cisco SCE platforms inline
–
Receive-only-cascade—Two cascaded Cisco SCE platforms receive-only
The default is
inline
. Inline-cascade and Receive-only-cascade options are available only if cascade
topology is configured. For an overview of the cascade topology, see the
Cisco Service Control
Product Installation Guide
.
•
sce-id
—In cascaded topologies, defines which link is connected to this Cisco SCE platform.
The sce-id parameter, which identifies the Cisco SCE platform, replaces the
physically-connected-link parameter, which identified the link. This change was required with the
introduction of the Cisco SCE 8000 GBE platform, which supports multiple links. In the Cisco SCE
8000 10GBE, the number assigned to the sce-id parameter (0 or 1) will be defined as the of number
of the physically-connected-link.
Note
For backwards compatibility, the physically-connected-link parameter is currently still recognized.
Possible values are '0' and '1'.
Not applicable to single Cisco SCE platform topologies.
•
Priority
—This parameter defines which is the primary Cisco SCE platform. It is applicable only in
a two Cisco SCE platform topology.
Possible values are 'primary' and 'secondary'
Not applicable to single Cisco SCE platform topologies
•
On-failure—
This parameter determines the behavior of the system when the Cisco SCE platform
either has failed or is booting:
–
cut the traffic (cutoff)
–
bypass the traffic (bypass)
–
automatically direct traffic through the external bypass module (external-bypass)
