Single Link: Receive-only Topology
In this topology, an optical splitter resides physically on the 10 GBE link between the subscribers and
the network (see Figure 3-4). The traffic passes through the optical splitter, which splits traffic to the
Cisco SCE 8000. The Cisco SCE 8000, therefore, only receives traffic and does not transmit.
Figure 3-4 Single Link: Receive-only Topology
When configuring the Cisco SCE 8000, an optical splitter topology is referred to as “receive-only”
connection mode.
Note In an optical splitter topology, the Cisco SCE 8000 only enables traffic monitoring functionality.
Note When implementing receive-only topologies with a switch, the switch must support SPAN functionality
that includes separation between ingress and egress traffic and multiple SPAN-ports destinations.
