Cable the Line Ports


This section provides instructions for cabling the Gigabit Ethernet ports for both one and two SCE 2000 topologies, and for configuring Gigabit Ethernet (GBE) interface parameters. In a topology utilizing two SCE 2000s (cascade), this includes the cascade ports as well as the line ports.

Class 1 laser. Avoid exposure to radiation and do not stare into open aperture.


Note When installing a cascaded system, it is extremely important to follow the sequence of procedures outlined in the section Installing a Cascaded System.

Single Link: Inline Topology 

Single Link: Receive-only Topology 

Dual Link: Single SCE 2000 Topologies 

Dual Link: Two SCE 2000s Topology 

Single Link: Inline Topology

In the inline topology, the SCE 2000 resides physically on the GBE (Gigabit Ethernet) link between the subscribers, which are usually connected through either a BRAS (in DSL access), a PDSN (in wireless access), a CMTS (in the Cable access), or a switch or router aggregator (in other topologies), and the network, where the SCE 2000 usually connects to a router or layer 3 switch network element.

Figure 5-1 Cabling Diagram for Single Link Inline Topology

In the single link inline topology, either the first GBE link (first two ports) of the SCE 2000or the second GBE link (third and fourth ports) can be used, as illustrated in the diagram above. The remaining pair of ports is unused.

Either port 1 or port 3 is used for connecting to the network element that is deployed on the subscriber side of the SCE 2000 while port 2 or port 4 is used for connecting to the network element that is deployed on the network side of the SCE 2000.

Inline topology requires both Receive and Transmit fibers

Single Link: Receive-only Topology

In this topology, an optical splitter resides physically on the GBE link that the SCE 2000 should monitor. The optical splitter is connected to the SCE 2000 via Rx links only.

In this topology, the traffic passes through the optical splitter, which splits traffic to the SCE 2000.


Note Receive-only topologies can also be implemented using a switch. Such a switch must support SPAN functionality that includes separation between ingress and egress traffic and multiple SPAN-ports destinations.


Figure 5-2 Cabling Diagram for Single SCE Platform Single Link Receive-only Topology

The single link receive-only topology cabling is similar to that for single link inline, in that either the first GBE link (first two ports) or the second GBE link (third and fourth ports) can be used, as illustrated in the diagram above. The remaining pair of ports is unused.

Either port 1 or port 3 is used for connecting to the network element that is deployed on the subscriber side of the SCE 2000 while port 2 or port 4 is used for connecting to the network element that is deployed on the network side of the SCE 2000.

Dual Link: Single SCE 2000 Topologies

In this topology, one SCE 2000 is connected to two full duplex, GBE links. The SCE 2000 may be either inline, to support both monitoring and traffic control functionality, or receive-only for traffic monitoring functionality only.

When one SCE 2000 supports two links, the first two ports are connected to one link, while ports 3 and 4 are connected to the second link as follows;

Port 1: Link 1, Subscriber side

Port 2: Link 1, Network side

Port 3: Link 2, Subscriber side

Port 4: Link 2, Network side

As with the single link cabling, inline topologies require both Receive and Transmit fibers, while Receive-only systems use only Receive fibers.


Note Receive-only topologies can be implemented using either an optical splitter or a switch. If a switch is used, it must support SPAN functionality that includes separation between ingress and egress traffic and multiple SPAN-ports destinations.


The following two diagrams illustrate the connections for dual links, with a single SCE 2000 deployed for both inline and receive-only topologies.

Figure 5-4 Cabling Diagram: Dual Link One SCE Platform Receive-only

Dual Link: Two SCE 2000s Topology

In this topology, two SCE 2000s are connected to two full duplex, GBE links, providing full redundancy through cascading the two SCE 2000s. The SCE 2000s may be either inline, to support both monitoring and traffic control functionality, or receive-only for traffic monitoring functionality only.


Note When installing a cascaded system, it is extremely important to follow the sequence of procedures outlined in the section Installing a Cascaded System.



Note Receive-only topologies can be implemented using either an optical splitter or a switch. If a switch is used, it must support SPAN functionality that includes separation between ingress and egress traffic and multiple SPAN-ports destinations.


When two SCE 2000s are used, the first two ports in each SCE 2000 are connected to the links, while ports 3 and 4 are the cascade ports that are used for communicating between the two SCE 2000s as follows:

SCE 2000 #1

Port 1: Link 1, Subscribers side

Port 2: Link 1, Network side

Port 3: Cascade, connect to Port 4 in SCE 2000 #2

Port 4: Cascade, connect to Port 3 in SCE 2000 #2

SCE 2000 #2

Port 1: Link 2, Subscribers side

Port 2: Link 2, Network side

Port 3: Cascade, connect to Port 4 in SCE 2000 #1

Port 4: Cascade, connect to Port 3 in SCE 2000 #1


Note Cascade ports must be connected directly in Layer 1 (dark fibers).


Inline topologies require connecting both Receive and Transmit fibers to the SCE 2000. Cascade ports always require both Receive and Transmit fibers to be connected.

The following diagram illustrates the connections for a dual link, two SCE 2000 inline topology

Configuring GigabitEthernet Auto-Negotiation

By default, the SCE 2000 GBE line interface ports are configured with auto-negotiation disabled.


Note Auto-negotiation must be disabled when the SCE 2000 is deployed via an external optical splitter (receive-only topology)



Note If you change any parameters, you must save the new configuration settings. Type copy running-config startup-config, and press Enter



Step 1 At the SCE 2000# prompt, type configure, and press Enter.

Enters the Global Configuration Mode.

Step 2 At the SCE 2000(config)# prompt, type interface GigabitEthernet 0/ portnumber, and press Enter.

- where portnumber is the number of the selected port (1-4).

Enters the GigabitEthernet Interface configuration mode for the specified GBE port.

Step 3 Type auto-negotiate and press Enter.

Enables auto-negotiation for the GBE interface.

Step 4 Type exit and press Enter.

Returns to Global Configuration Mode, from which you can enter the GigabitEethernet Interface configuration mode for the remaining GBE ports.

Step 5 Repeat this procedure to configure auto-negotiation for the other GBE port interfaces.


Connect the GBE Line Interface Ports

The following table presents the fiber specifications. The SCE 2000 may be ordered with either Multimode or Single Mode transceivers The transceiver type is indicated on the front panel under the ports. Note that both transceivers on any individual SCE 2000 are the same, either 850nm Multimode OR 1310nm Single Mode.

Step 1 Plug the specified fiber optic cable (see Fiber Specifications) into the appropriate GBE port on the front panel of the SCE 2000.

Step 2 Verify that the link LED is green.

If the link LED does not light, try removing the network cable plug and reinserting it firmly into the module socket.
