DETAILED STEPS
Step 1 Install both SCE 2000 platforms, power them up, and perform the initial system configuration. (See
Installation and Maintenance and Connecting the Management Interfaces and Performing Initial System
Configuration)
Step 2 Connect both SCE 2000 platforms to the management station. (See Connecting the Management
Interfaces and Performing Initial System Configuration.)
Step 3 Connect the cascade ports. The cascade ports must be connected directly in Layer 1 (dark fibers), not
through switches. (See Dual Link: Two SCE 2000s Topology.)
Step 4 Set topology configurations for each SCE 2000 platform via the connection-mode options. (See
Information About Topology-Related Parameters.)
Step 5 Make sure that the SCE 2000 platforms have synchronized and active SCE 2000 platform was selected.
Use the show interface linecard 0 connection-modecommand.
Step 6 If you want to start with bypass/sniffing, change the link mode to your required mode in both SCE 2000
platforms on both links. The bypass mode will be applied only to the active SCE 2000 platform. (See
How to Set the Link Mode.)
Step 7 Make sure that the link mode is as you required. (See Monitoring the System.)
Use the show interface linecard 0 link modecommand.
Step 8 Connect the traffic port of SCE 2000 platform #1. This will cause a momentary down time until the
network elements from both sides of the SCE 2000 platform auto-negotiate with it and start working
(when working inline). (See Dual Link: Two SCE 2000s Topology.)
Step 9 Connect the traffic port of SCE 2000 platform #2. This will cause a momentary down time until the
network elements from both sides of the SCE 2000 platform auto-negotiate with it and start working
(when working inline). (See Dual Link: Two SCE 2000s Topology.)
Step 10 When full control is needed, change the link mode on both SCE 2000 platforms on both links to
‘forwarding’. It is recommended to first configure the active SCE 2000 platform and then the standby.
(See How to Set the Link Mode.)
Step 11 You can now start working with the Subscriber Manager.
CLI Commands for Cascaded Systems
This section presents CLI commands relevant to the configuration and monitoring of a redundant system.
Use the following commands to configure and monitor a redundant system:
• connection-mode
• [no] force failure-condition
• Show interface linecard 'number' connection-mode
• Show interface linecard 'number' physically-connected links
Topology-Related Parameters for Redundant Topologies
All four of the topology-related parameters are required when configuring a redundant topology.
