6 Completing the Installation
This module discusses how to verify link connectivity and how to install a Service Control application.
Examining the LEDs
• The 10GBE Link LED should be green, verifying that an active connection exists.
• The 10GBE Rx and Tx LEDs (if flashing green) indicate that traffic is being received or transmitted by the SCE 8000
platform, respectively.
• Note that in an inline topology, the Rx and Tx LEDs indicate that packets are being received/transmitted by the SCE 8000
platform.
• In optical splitter topologies, the Rx LEDs are the sole indicators. The Tx LEDs do not "blink", since the Tx is not
connected to the port in this topology.
Final Tests
Viewing the Ten Gigabit Ethernet Port Status
Step 1 At the Cisco SCE8000# prompt, type show interface TenGigabitEthernet 3/ baynumber /0.
This displays the port link status.
The following example displays a system response.
Cisco SCE8000#show interface TenGigabitEthernet 3/1/0
Actual Status:
Link is on
Bandwidth: 10000000Kbps
Burst-size: 500000bytes
Viewing the Ten Gigabit Ethernet Counters
In an inline topology, you can monitor traffic via the platform counters for both the Rx and Tx connections. The counters
increase as packets flow through the Cisco SCE8000 for both Rx and Tx.
However, in receive-only topologies, the counters for the Tx do not increment, as the SCE8000 is only monitoring traffic, and
not re-transmitting it
Step 1 At the Cisco SCE8000# prompt, type show interface TenGigabitEthernet 3/ baynumber /0 counters.
This displays the TenGigabitEthernet counters. This command enables you 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 apply as traffic monitors. For receive-only
topologies, using an external splitter, only the Rx counters apply.
The following example shows the counters of the first Ten Gigabit Ethernet interface.
