Single Cisco SCE8000 GBE Topologies
In this topology, one or two 8-port GBE SPAs are installed in the Cisco SCE8000 GBE to support a
maximum of eight full duplex GBE links. The Cisco SCE8000 GBE may be either inline, to support
both monitoring and traffic control functionality, or receive-only for traffic monitoring functionality
only.
Guidelines for single SCE8000 GBE topologies:
• If only one SPA module (four links) is installed, it must be installed in bay 0 of the SPA jacket card.
• If two SPA modules (eight links) are installed, they must be installed in bays 0 and 1 of the SPA
jacket card.
A maximum of two SPAs is supported.
• The GBE SPA ports are connected in adjacent pairs.
Even ports (0,2,4,6) are the subscriber ports and the neighboring odd ports (1,3,5,7) are the network
ports.
Figure 6-1 displays the Cisco SCE8000 GBE port numbering.

•
Inline topologies require both Receive and Transmit fibers.
• Receive-only topologies use only Receive fibers.
• If link continuity needs to be maintained at all times when using the inline topology, optical bypass
modules should be installed, as follows:
–
8-port GBE SPA in subslot 0 only: two external bypass modules installed in the left side of slot
#4 of the SCE8000 GBE GBE
–
8-port GBE SPA in subslots 0 and1: four external bypass modules installed in slot #4 of the
SCE8000 GBE (slot #4 is fully populated)
