Introduction to the SCE Platform

This chapter provides an introduction to the SCE 2000 4xGBE Platform, the Service Control hardware component.

Information About The SCE Platform

The Service Control Engine (SCE) platform, which is the hardware component of the Cisco Service Control solution, is designed to support observation, analysis, and control of Internet/IP traffic. The following table summarizes model information for the SCE 2000 platform

Model number	SCE 2020 4xGBE
Link Type	Gigabit Ethernet
Number of Ports	4
Number of Links	2

Front Panel

The SCE 2000 Front Panel consists of ports and LEDs as shown in the following figure and tables.

Figure 2-1 SCE 2000 Front Panel

Table 2-2 SCE 2000 Ports
Port	Quantity	Description	Connect This Port To...
Mng1/ Mng2	2	10/100/1000 Ethernet RJ-45 ports for management of the SCE 2000 . CLI designation: interface Management 0/1, 0/2.	A LAN using an FE cable with an RJ-45 connector. If both interfaces are used to provide a redundant management interface, connect both ports to the LAN via a switch.
Console	1	RS-232 RJ-45 port for use by technicians	A local terminal (console) using an RS-232 cable with an RJ-45 connector, as provided in the SCE 2000 kit.
AUX	1	RS-232 RJ-45 port used by technicians
GBE ports 1-4	4	GigabitEthernet ports for connecting to the line and/or cascading two devices CLI designation: interface GigabitEthernet 0/1 through 0/4

Table 2-3 SCE 2000 LED Groups
LED Groups	Description
Power A	•Continuous green — Power supply A is functioning normally •Red — Power supply A present, but malfunctioning •Unlit — Power supply A is either not present or has failed.
Power B	•Continuous green — Power supply B is functioning normally •Red — Power supply B present, but malfunctioning •Unlit — Power supply B is either not present or has failed.
Status	The Status LED indicates the operational status of the SCE 2000 system, as follows: •Unlit — indicates no power from either power unit. •Orange — indicates that the system is booting up. •Flashing green — indicates that the system is fully operational. •Flashing orange — indicates that the system is operational, but is in a warning state. •Red — indicates that there is a problem or failure Note that Alarms are hierarchical: Failure takes precedence over Warning, which takes precedence over operational.
Bypass	•Continuous green — indicates that the traffic bypasses the SCE 2000 through an internal electrical bypass module. Single SCE 2000 topology — The SCE 2000 is either in bypass or sniffing mode Cascaded topology — Either the SCE 2000 is forwarding traffic to the other SCE 2000 , where it is being processed, or is simply in bypass mode, so traffic through it is not being processed. •Unlit — traffic is not being bypassed Single SCE 2000 topology — indicates normal operation of the SCE 2000 Cascaded topology — indicates normal operation of the active SCE 2000
GBE ports	The GBE LEDs indicate the operational status of the SCE 2000 line ports, as follows: •Link Green — indicates that the port link is up Unlit — indicates that the port link is down •Rx Flashing Green — indicates that there are incoming packets •Tx Flashing Green — indicates that there are outgoing packets
Mng	The Mng port LEDs indicate the operational status of the SCE 2000 out-of-band LAN-based management port, as follows: •Link/Active Green — indicates that the port link is up Unlit — indicates that the port link is down •10/100/1000 Steady green — indicates that the port is set to 100 Mbps Unlit — indicates that the port is set to 10 Mbps Orange — indicates that the port is set to 1000 Mbps

Back Panel

The SCE 2000 platform back-panel contains the following components:

•Two field-replaceable power supply units with ON/OFF switches

•A field-replaceable fan drawer

•Ground connections

•Two connectors to the external bypass module

The rear panels of both the AC- and DC-powered SCE 2000 platforms are shown in the following pair of figures.

Information About Checking the Shipping Container Contents

Use the SCE 2000 Component List to check the contents of the SCE 2000 platform shipping container.

Do not discard the shipping container. You need the container if you move or ship the SCE 2000 platform in the future.

*Titles and quantities of documents will vary. You must order the type and quantity of documentation sets when you order the hardware.

Note We no longer ship the entire SCE 2000 documentation set automatically with each system. You must specifically order the documentation as part of the sales order. If you ordered documentation and did not receive it, we will ship the documents to you within 24 hours. To order documents, contact a customer service representative.

SCE 2000 Installation Checklist

To assist you with your installation and to provide a historical record of what was done by whom, photocopy the following SCE 2000 Installation Checklist. Indicate when each procedure or verification is completed. When the checklist is completed, place it in your site log along with the other records for your new SCE 2000 platform.
