Link Continuity

If the SCE8000 platform fails, traffic flows through the optical bypass module, bypassing the SCE8000,
so that traffic on the link is maintained
Figure 3-10 Optical Bypass Under Failure Conditions
Note In cascade configuration, installation of the optical bypass module is required
This optical bypass module can be added to link without altering the basic characteristics of the topology.
(The installation procedure and the actual connections are somewhat different when the optical bypass
module is used, see Optical Bypass Module Connectivity, page 6-9.)
For more information regarding the external bypass module, refer to The Cisco SCE8000 Optical
Bypass, page 2-8.
