Chapter 8 Configuring the Connection
Configuring the Connection Mode
Note
If the
external-bypass
option is configured, two optical bypass devices must be properly connected, one
on each link. If an optical bypass device is not detected, the command is executed but a warning is issued.
The system then enters warning mode until either the command is changed, or the presence of an optical
bypass device is detected.
Note
If the
bypass
option is configured and the connection mode is 'inline-cascade', a single optical bypass
device must be connected on link #0 (SPA bays 0 and 1). As explained above, the command is executed,
but the system enters warning mode.
Default:
–
inline mode:
external-bypass
–
inline-cascade mode:
bypass
Not applicable to receive-only topologies.
Note
Do not change the connection mode unless the physical installation has been changed.
Step 1
From the SCE(config if)# prompt, type
connection-mode (inline | receive-only | inline-cascade |
receive-only-cascade)
[
sce-id
(
0|1)]
[
priority
(
primary | secondary)]
on-failure
(bypass|external-bypass|cutoff)
and press
Enter
.
Configuring the Connection Mode Examples
Example 1
This example defines defines a primary Cisco SCE 8000 in a cascaded inline topology. Link 0 is
connected to this device, and the link mode on failure is bypass (default).
SCE(config if)# connection-mode inline-cascade sce-id 0 priority primary
Example 2
This example defines a single-Cisco SCE platform, dual link, receive-only topology. The link mode
on-failure, sce-id
, and
priority
options are not applicable.
SCE(config if)# connection-mode receive-only
